US has sales Tax. If anything, by increasing LCT thresholds, Albo has reduced LCT. Sent from my Pixel 8 using Tapatalk

Like I said earlier this is old ground with S550, the price was comparable when GST and LST were removed and compared to US Sales Taxes. Albo and his people can remove the LST anytime. |

Anyway, US depends on the state you live. California is very comparable with the taxes we pay in Australia. 9.5% sales tax. And higher income tax as well. Sent from my Pixel 8 using Tapatalk

People whining about Mach E prices need to present all of the data when they do a comparison (including taxes), if they don’t then their numbers are BS. BTW: I’m not buying a Mach E, I’d buy a Tesla model Y first. |

Mach E is within a few thousand of the Y in the US. Here, it's about $20k dearer. All taxes the same, the Mach E is priced very poorly. Sent from my Pixel 8 using Tapatalk

Honestly I couldn’t be bothered doing it myself, but if someone posts numbers all things need to be considered including / all Taxes, Tariffs, shipping and tooling costs etc. |

I don't get the love for the Thai specials of any brand. They seem underdone compared to a F-150/Tundra/Titan.

I was helping a customer load up his F-150 Raptor the other day, I remarked on his choice of vehicle, his response was that his was a "real" Raptor and not the pretender. Had to laugh at that.

If they don't have EVs then they have to buy credits off competitors (see Stellantis buying credits from Tesla). |

I'm not surprised to see the F-150 outselling the Silverado at all. There is way more RAMs than them anyway by a large margin around here. The real story will be if Ford can close gap to RAM.
I wouldn't buy a GM brand anything on principle after all their bullshit in Australia. |

Well, the Hemi V8 is not long for this world, it will be replaced by the Hurricane Inline 6. I wonder what that will do to RAM sales in Australia, the V8 has been the big drawcard for the majority of buyers.

I seriously considered a 1500 Limited but just couldn't bring myself to spend $160k on a vehicle. So I ended up with the Raptor. However the RAM is a great vehicle inside and out and is a great cruiser. From the RAM Facebook groups I'm in, it also appears to use less fuel than my Raptor. |

If Ford can manage not to self wound, the F150 is set to take a big bite out of Sliver and Ram sales. |

That's nuts the Ram drinks less than a Raptor Naddis.
And Jeep sales here - I wonder if it is the upping of the pricing as well, like they did for the new generation Grand Cherokee? In the US Dodge is rapidly accumulating stock with eye watering sticker prices and their dealer lots are overflowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuN7uOOVUCU

In America the inventories are stacking up in the face of extremely high pricing:

Toyota seems to be doing the best with its new car inventory in the US. But I am not sure if that is good management or good/bad luck. Toyota is still working its way though supply chain and IT issues (including a ransomware attack on its systems in Feb 22 and an undisclosed IT issue in Sep 23). Maybe the ball has curved Toyota's way this time around. As for the Australian new car market ... I get the feeling that an economic crunch is coming. |
