But if you think about it, the prices of cars at the lower end HAVE actually come down since the NAP. There are more choices in the below 100k range and more people are buying non-national now, to the chagrin of the nationals.At the higher price and cc end, the tax rates are actually lower than before NAP. But the COST of premium cars has gone up, so we don't feel any reduction in the cars that WE want. It's not all because of the taxes. Compare the E90 and E36 - miles apart in all respects. But we want the better engine, better performance, xenons, LEDs, RFTs,  idrive, sat nav, auto this, auto that... My guess is that the manufacturing cost of an E90 is double that of an equivalent E36. It's the price of progress.</blockquote>
