That is a great article...

It stand to reason that the number one car manufacturer in the world
is Toyota. And the Lexus brand and particularly LS model are the cause
for that.

In the US Lexus last a few days on the lot, versus the American
counterparts that RUST on the lots.....

The prices paid in the UK vs the US is more but that commensurates
with the current value of the pound, which like the dollar will go
down eventually ! (For thos e who wish to debate this point -its
called a cycle).

The shortcut below is an English Newspaper article re: Lexus. Not only does
it make an interesting read, but I'd be interested to hear your comments
reference the prices we have to pay for cars in the UK, compared to where
you live. (The prices are at the bottom of the article).

For any of you not living in England, I point out that 'Green' cars here are
very important (not just from an environmental perspective) but also due to
the fact if you have a car supplied here by your employer, (and 75-85% of
management here do) depending upon the make and its emissions, the tax
authorities take the list price of the car, divide this by 3 (i.e.: say
£60,000 / 3 = £20,000) and class the £20,000 figure as earned income and
charge you 40% income tax on that! In addition, Lead Free fuel here is now a
few pennies short of £5.00 per gallon!
