Default Luxury Tax?

OK, I do not know this...
At what price does the Luxury Tax kick in?
For those that want a new GS or LS?
Is it $50,000?
What % is the penalty?

Thanks!

There is no more luxury tax on any new cars. It ended last year.

You guys are lucky. Here in Aus we get hit with luxury car tax (I think for cars over $50000), about 35%, plus new car tax. A friend of mine was looking into buying a Merc C200K, going for about $74000(AUD), but with all the taxes and duty it ended up being about $102000(AUD)...

Friggin Australian taxes!

Gotta love that socialism. Goal: make everyone equally miserable through wealth re-distribution.
