Well, just out of curiousity Ascaris, what would a new Honda of the same model there cost. The new Civics run from 14,000 US to about 20,000 US depending on options:

The new Honda Civic 1.8i 4D Executive - 25 300 €

And just the regular A4 with 2 liter engine is 35 570 €, which is more expensive than many other european brands. The BMW prices are ridiculous.

I coldnt help noticing the list is in alphabetical order. the only thing is they must have forgotten to look under F for ford.

So does any other country pay a big money for gas, except americans. We had long time 1,4 euros / litre. Now it's 1,35 euros / litre, which is still too much. So, your 99p isn't that spectacular.

ok the guy steve siler that made this list is an idiot! first off luxury cars do not have 2 doors.the TL is over $35K.
The Nissan Maxima should be on that list.Mercedes C class, toyota avalon.... stupid list... $35k and luxury really don't mix.





Don't get me wrong... thank you for posting this list Mr._Big! (beer)

At least you noticed that it wasn't my list. I got crucified last time I posted a list so now I post the by line.

No way, the Audi A4 is the best one!
