Going on a tangent here but that’s not at all true. Cars are generally cheapest in the States. If you equip two identical BMWs, it will be about 25 to 35% less in the U.S. than in Germany, even if that car is being imported from Germany. A German built Audi RS6 costs around $109k in the States and $139k in Germany, and that doesn’t even take into account that the American model has more standard features.
Reasons are numerous but include less sales taxes, less regulation, cheaper transportation, less import tariffs and greater economies of scale. We pay less for Land Rovers than Brits do, less for a Supra than somebody in Japan, etc.
