So, we're getting shafted, but it's still the best small car on the market and we're willing to pay the premium, but we don't need the attitude on top of it!

Actually the Danes or possibly people from Singapore are paying the most. In Denmark you pay, at least when I lived there in 2001-2002, a 200% VAT/FEE/Surcharge on a new car purchase. Singapore you have buy a special license to even buy a car and those are not cheap. Or at least they were not when I was there last.

These are countries, that while they allow you to drive, they would prefer that you not drive and take public transport. So they make the cost of entry pretty darn high if you want to own a vehicle.

And before some blasts me, I know there are ways around it.
