just as an example - the exact same cars are between 25-40% cheaper in the US than they are for example in Germany, not speaking of the Netherlands and Scandinavia who also add up 180% luxury tax. A Mercedes E-Class 350 costs in the US $50k - in Denmark $185k

I can see that having some bearing but a lot of the US does not have any form of public transportation at all. No train, no buss, no anything.
