Depends on what you're using it for. The cars really aren't comparable. |
Agreed, I have driven a few Exiges & absolutely love them as a track tool. The Emira is different though & crosses the line nicely into road car (almost mini supercar territory).
However by the time it hits the showroom floor here (AUS) the s/cV6 is likely to be in the region of $200k which is GT4 money.
As a reference the current 'final edition' sport Exige are circa $180k here, which although an extremely capable car is too much for what it offers imo. Hell even the M2CS are circa $170k here which is just plain ridiculous imo.
Unfortunately our government are an extremely greedy bunch & along with the usual 10% tax they add 33% pro-rata tax on any new car over $70k, which artificially inflates pricing.
Oh there's also another 5% tax for Euro imported cars which was introduced to protect the local manufacturers (which have all collapsed now anyway), the 5% tax is still in place though ?. As I said extremely greedy !!!
