  1. Talking of the tax bands for new vehicles. Its madness. Manufactures are now forced to use smaller and in some cases under-powered engines just so they can sell there cars forcing the consumer to be in the type of car the government wants you to drive. The gas guzzler tax in america is a much better system and tax's ACTUAL polluting cars with 5, 6, 7 litre engines. not a 2.0L small family car ffs. Take the new IS350 for example, its such a fantastic car and isnt much less fuel efficient than the IS250 and makes financial sense to buy one in a normal world if your looking at a IS250, but the british government forces it upon us that we cant access cars like that because whos gonna pay £620 a year for tax for a entry level sports sedan. Instead lexus let us have a a f sport package on a 300h so we can pretend its fast. thanks lexus

    anyway very nice of them to give us some slack for cars older than 2006 at least, and even better still a flat rate for cars like mine older than 2001, maybe not so good for ppl with smaller engined cars though

    haha in ireland i have to pay 720euro per year on an is200 so you don't have it all that bad :)

    omg that sucks! what on earth is that all about. wondered why they were cheaper there when i was buying one lol

    ya the only upside is that they are very cheap to buy over here now. my dad has a 2.2 litre merc and his tax is well over 800euro and a friend of mine has a 325i beamer his tax is well over a thousand. it ridiculous dont know why its so high here!
