The most expensive one I can find is the RLX. It starts at $48,450 and can go all the way up to $63K. Absurd. So, what can you guys find?

Aren't some Audi A8's in Europe available in FWD for no reason? I bet with enough options, they can get pricey. If not , I know at least the A6 is....for no reason

That makes absolutely no sense. Wouldn't it be easier for Audi to solely produce quattro to make it easier for factories? Much faster production and such.

I forgot, we have people everywhere. How much does something like the RLX cost? It must be astonishing.

We don't have Acura in here. But we do have the Accord. That thing cost somewhere arround 55-60k if i remember.

That's amazing! Wow. Something actually worth driving (like your car) is probably pushing 80-90K!

FROM $75,000 - $82,135

Well, i think i'll consider myself a median and i got somewhere arround 2.5k per month.

But yes, there's lot of people paid much lower than me.

36 million indonesians still have to make living with less than 2 bucks a day.

Do I win the ELR? No? Ok good I would've had mixed feelings about owning it.

Yes, mine is valued at 80k.

But luckily cars depreciate quite fast. You can have a good example of a W140 S600 for 10-15k. Or if you reallly tight on budget, old Holdens from 70's is only 4-5k.

Yep.
But old cars depreciate fast in here, thankfully.

Ha! Same as every other market! The fact that you can get a Holden for cheap is good news.

At least you have that!

You can still hoon it, if it's your concern. You'll need this though.

Yep. Maybe because we're just a few miles from Australia. Plus the import law is allows you to import pretty much anything.

On a side note, Acura began combining RL and RLX sales numbers in May 2013 to hide the fact that RL sales were down to single digits per month...only 39 RLs sold in the first four months of 2013.

39....thirty nine RL's? That's just....pitiful. That's worse then the Mercedes R-class! I think most on-the-fence luxury car manufacturers (Cadillac/Lexus) have at least tried (and succeeded) in stepping their game up. Acura just keeps making the same boring to look at and boring to drive cars.
