It's also a dollar for a gallon of gas here in Bahrain. It's cheaper in some other Gulf Countries too.. like Saudi Arabia. They pay 40% less for gas!
5%? So if a car costs $50K, you end up paying $2.5K tax? In some country it's 150% or more.

Yes that's right!
Since we do not have local car manufacturing, we are forced to import our vehicles and hence the small import tax.
In countries where local manufacturing is available, it makes sense to charge heavy duty on imports! As to encourage you to buy local products!

Looks awesome! I think the photos look fine it's just the position of the camera angles. Rules of thirds would help the photos look awesome.

Meh. I can't envision the 2IS in this shade of red. My G35 coupe is red and I love it, it matches the car. But for the 2IS the sleek, Asianesque design just doesn't match with the color red but that's just IMHO.

^ photoshop, or any resizing program. Because he edited his post before because the pictures were huge.

Awesome pics, but IMO that new paint should be polished.
