Shanghai has tons of LWB audis, 7 series etc. First time I rode in from the airport i see a Maybach. Not much in the way of Lexus though.

Don't think I saw a single gs3 there??

As I know, I think probably Singapore is one of most expensive in the world. The GS300 costs over USD$140,000 and the LS600h costs over USD$300,000!! Even a Honda Civic starts at USD$57,000....

Recently moved back to Hong Kong and purchased a GS450h for about $680,000hkd=$87,000usd. It was cheaper than I expect, didn't think a E350 or 550i worth the extra 15k+usd, and also for some odd reason used Lexus tend to hold their value better than MB and BMW.

Yeah, they just lower the import tax on Japanese vehicle few years ago (less than 10 years ago) in Taiwan; otherwise it would cost more than $120k (used to be 150~200%).

Some rich dude just purchased Lamborghini Reventón Roadster in Taiwan for over $3 Million USD (NT$100,000,000) for one...

Yeah but the European cars are still expensive. My dad said the S-Class with a V6 starts at around $5,000,000 TWD (about $156,000 USD).
