i swear the US gets such a sh1tty selection of car choices [mad] as i understand it...most countries in europe you have to order the car you just can't walk into the dealership and pick one up on the lot...is that true?

Yep, that's true and it s*cks. Usually it gets 2-4 months to get e.g. Audi/VW in Finland. In that sense US is better even though selection is not that good.

A punch of other brands have that thing, Saab, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW. My friend just picked up his European delivered Volvo V70R with options for only 36kUSD!
Think of this: In Finland the new Audi A6 Sedan 3,2 FSI 188 kW quattro tiptronic $84,000.00!!! And no no no, this does not include any options. [:D]

Yes, when your engine size goes over 2.0L, you're going to pay much more [rolleyes]

That's unbelivable. When I was over in the UK, I remember gas pricies being over-the-top. But holly crap is all I can say about $84K base on the A6.

You can't buy a car with no badges in the States because nobody has ever heard of doing that. I have, you have but the majority of America would look at you like you have 3 eyes and 2 heads if you asked for it.

Hmm, what about this then; exactly the same car in Norway:
$101,318.00
And why not buy an 2004 S4 (B6) then, hmm, lets see, ahh well:
$147,579.00
(all cars basic/starting prices, no extra options)
