Because austrailans (like the rest of the world) pay twice as much for cars as Americans do.

This is 1% as gauche as movie stars or musicians in America. At least these people own businesses and can do calculus. Haters gonna hate.

Wait... is that Schwartzkopf or J. Edgar Hoover?

*stomp* *clap* *stomp* *stomp* *clap*

Of all the times an armadillo has decided NOT to commit suicide, this was the worst.

Please keep and hoon the car. To sell it is to doom it to a life of servitude behind velvet rope with some crabby octogenarian on a lawnchair behind it and stuffed animals and plaques all over it. This car deserves more.

I hope he's not a doctor...

Hahaha.. Oh wow.

If someone tried to sue me for 15k, I woudln't be able to afford it either. God damn it, now I have to call my insurance agent. What the hell am I paying $80 bucks a month for if some rich twat can sue me into oblivion?

As much as I'd love to jump into the fray in what's developing into a class warfare argument with the eventual conclusion of a Nazi germany analogy... The ferrari guys policy will probably cover the car, and even if the suburban guy wasn't a pauper, I don't know what the heck they can sue him for.

How much would it cost in USD? That might explain why they don't bring it over.

The section of the tires is conspicuously hidden. We all know this thing will probably be produced with 215/35/20's to keep that photoshop worthy fender gap... if it's ever produced.

It's like a Lexus without the stigma and you have enough cash left over for some wicked rare rims, mad tyte camber, and some new skinny jeans... although it'd be twice as cool if he had started with a cressida.

Because a 260 hp toyota engine is a different animal then a 280 hp bmw v8 if you have an extra atmosphere or two.

Good point. It's a risky investment at best. Here he has a chance to do something Hunter S. worthy, write about it, then have future jalopnik post cock pictures of him in 40 years.

Methinks there some snobbery afoot. I guarantee that I can buy a pile of fingers for the paltry sum of a Viper/Skyline/z06/nsx, etc.

If they bothered to fight crime every once in a while, I'd support them having awesome cars like the interceptor, but since they're nothing more then meter maids in rolling toll booths with a quota to fill, they could (and should) be forced to accomplish that in a Kia.

Drive it every day and blog about it and sell advertising on the blog while driving collectors crazy, become LEGEND. At least find a way to cash in on it somehow! C'mon! This is America!

Rule # 1. Leave the forums to sort themselves out. All a company can do is add credibility and fuel to the flame by posting. Rule #2. If you have to post, bend over backwards and make everyone involved right... after all it'll be public record for eternity. Step 3. Don't be Discovery Automotive or Hennessy.

Q- How is a manufactured product with low or no labor content is supposed to offer cost savings after you ship it TO THE OTHER SIDE OF A PLANET?
