Talking about taxes... maybe you'll like to know this then...
Where i live, in Portugal, taxes on cars are so high that it's cheaper to go buy them in other European countries... and many manufacturers don't send their top models here...

We don't have Corvettes, Vipers, Supras, Skylines, NSX, etc... To have one only importing it from somewhere else...
As an example, there's the Corvette Coupe on
Chevrolet website priced at $45895USD (37879Eur), a great car with 400hp. With that money here, i could buy a... Toyota MR2 with 140hp...
I think we're lucky to get TVRs, but a Tuscan S 4.0 with 390hp costs 117211Eur ($142188USD)... in USA could buy 3 Corvettes with that money...
Interesting isn't it?
