That's quite a drop. Still shows how much EMD is screwing NZ buyers when in the US it will be selling for around $65-75k.

Surely because the US is a bigger market= cheaper. A direct conversion of the English price is $130K but its all economies of scale after all.

They are made in the same factory, so no saving there. Potentially NZ is a smaller market, and therefor has a higher cost to distribute and support the product, but its marginal, and at max $15k per car. The only other cost differential would be spec. The balance is EMD/dealer margin.

I still say a larger market could negoitate a better price for the product from the factory.
But having said that there was an article a while ago regarding BMWs and comparing what they cost around the world for exacting spec cars.
NZ was on average 15-20k dearer than comparable cars in both Germany and the UK.

I suppose if you don't like it you could always buy something else??

Are they making an RS4 wagon this time around? I'm probably one eyed, but I reckon A4's look better as wagons...........................

The brochure I have makes no mention of an Avant nor are there any pictures of one. I'll have a look on the latest update of ETKA on wednesday and let you know, they usually include stuff that isn't yet available. For example the 3.6 200kw VR engine Passat.

I've always been told and was under the impression that the V8 RS4 was never going to available in Avant. The brochure I have makes no mention of an Avant nor are there any pictures of one.
