I think you've missed the point again. I'm asking a question on how the 60,000€ number was arrived. If it is not arbitrary, it's fair game. If it isn't, it's a deliberate protectionist move.
- Tomte 10y agoSince you can ask that question for every number, it is useless. Unless you have indications that suggest "a deliberate protectionist move" it's pure polemic. I have no idea how that specific number was reached. But since I don't suggest ulterior motives or a grand conspiracy I don't have to provide anything. You have to show evidence or at least a coherent argument that amounts to more than "I don't like the outcome".
- denzil_correa 10y agoI've not suggested ANY conspiracy theory. I'm asking how that number was come to and it's a legitimate question.

Uh, I don't know, maybe around 60k gets into the sports car range?" You are right. 60k is an arbitrary number. Just like 50k and 70k is arbitrary. But they wanted to have a limit, probably so rich people couldn't use it. So they probably just picked a round number that sounded nice.
