As I said. It's a culture thing - and here is the evidence
..
Jeremy Clarkson

NB: Hummer H2 just went from 110.000 dollars to 150.000 dollars in Denmark last night. New taxsystem on vehicles just enforced, smacking huge gaseaters and lowering tax on small long mileage cars
(for American, VERY small cars) ..
And the Hummer here is still only a 2 seater on yellow plates for that price, that is VAN's plates. Want all the seats in it
(white plates like a normal car), you are probably gonna pay more than 200.000 dollars for it ..
And for those who would love to see 3 British funny aristocratic TopGear-men, driving some 800 miles out of Miami going north on a roadtrip in cars that cost no more than 1000 dollars, this is a great great laugh
