Just looking at some normal cars in the same price range, and how that "range" changes dramatically with taxes. *shakes head*

That depends where you live. Some places base it on CO2, others on engine capacity. Some places have an annual tax, some have a registration tax, some of us are lucky enough to have to pay both.

This is in Belgium, and it's both. The annual tax is based upon engine size. The 1-time registration is based on engine power and age, and the CO2 tax is straight against the CO2 emissions.

Elections have consequences. Control freak statists tend to make things unaffordable and treat taxpayers like peons. Bring back tar-and-feather-ing.

wowsers, i paid 26 USD to register my 4 liter 14 mpg SUV for a year, and to transfer the title and taxes, it was 150 USD, seems like a lot more in the EU.

It was certainly sticker shock. I wanted to bring my E39 M5 which I owned back in the USA over. I'm glad I didn't. It would have been > $6,000 to register.
