Ah okay. That makes quite a bit of difference then compared to countries with for example 21% (1300 euro - Netherlands) or 19% (2300 euro - Germany).

It's quite complex to compare base prices within Europe, not just because of the VAT rates, but also because the base prices without VAT are quite different. In the Netherlands for example a GT without VAT tax is over 1000 euro cheaper than in Germany.
So is that Ford gouging the Netherlands or the German govt extorting a kickback?

No our goverment only extorts their citizens.

Apart from 21% sales tax they also charge between USD 79,000 and 93,000 environment tax when you buy a GT. And no that's not a typo. :doh:

In Germany, which is right on our border, the sales tax is milder at 19% and the environment tax is zero.

I wonder what would happen if they tried that in the US? They get uptight if sales tax goes much above 8%.

Let us not get into how much tax I pay here in Sweden :D
Get ready for higher taxes. Those new 2017 poor "ref" ugees need your money.

And Australia doesn't want them. We have plenty.

I gotta say the lowered front end makes a world of a difference. I've been watching videos and pics and it's just really nice. At first i wasn't sure if I liked it more than 2015 but it's without a doubt going to make 2015 look like old news.
