    That's terrible hoe. I'm looking for the dislike button for your post
    They obviously think we are filthy rich.
    I wonder how they can justify that price difference.

    Lucky for me I'll never be a lexus driver.
    But I suppose I'll just be ripped off by some other brand.

    It's not just lexus, it's pretty much all vehicles.

    Luxury vehicles get hit much more with the 'Australia tax' and the Australian government taxes and import charges.

    These high import taxes made sense while we were still producing vehicles locally but now that we have to import EVERY new vehicle it is just a shameless money grab from our gov.

    Had to laugh when I looked up that Lexus convertible.
    They run pipes through the cabin to get extra engine noise inside and as that is not enough the sound system amplifies and plays it back too.
    I call that additive 'noise cancelling'. Just make so much noise that distractions like conversations and music can't be heard

    Sheeesh, 675,000 hits since 24/4/21, not bad for an Aussie site
    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"
