Motorcycles too~
In Hong Kong, people mostly use public transport~
Price difference of cheap cars are small, like Yaris is about $14k USD in HK. However, price difference of expensive cars can be very big, like Maybach 62 is about $937k USD in HK...

yeah these luxury cars are really costly there after import duties and all that
lexus, MB, BMW are all considered pretty prestigious brands and that adds a layer of artificially inflated price too IMO

btw why is this woman trying to pour from a bottle of wine with a cork still in it

yes yes i know its just for show...

a plastic rose cheapens the car too

If its any consolation the "old" LS430 retailed at about $180k in Norway (the prices for the newLS460 hasnt been made public yet)

And again...as with china...most of this is down to our insanely high import taxes

Since they haven't even opened the bottle, I think that liquid in the glass is probably diluted tea or something

I don't think drinks will be nearly as stable on that table as cup holders when the car is moving. I won't do that especially for the Alabaster interior carpets . . .
