And god forbid, the 180% registration tax on vehicles (basicly any type of vehicle becomes twice as expensive)
PS. Electric vehicles are an exception, making the Tesla very cheap in terms of premium cars (think Mercedes-Benz S class, BMW 7-series)
- workhere-io 13y agoTrue, but note that public transportation is much better, and riding your bicycle is easier. Denmark has one of the lowest daily commute times in the OECD countries according to the graph on http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2011/10/american-commute-times-so-difficult-to-measure/307/ http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2011/10/american-co... Basicly any type of vehicle becomes twice as expensive No, not vehicles used for business. The high taxes are on personal cars.

- workhere-io 13y agoYup, you get to pretend to be the driver if you sit up front :) http://www.kongper.dk/foto_stor/metro1f.jpg http://www.kongper.dk/foto_stor/metro1f.jpg
- Systemic33 13y agoI've lived in Sweden for 6 years, and the danish public transport is pretty much the same, while I think Stockholm's is better. My point is that good public transport is not an argument for having ludicruos taxes. Sweden does exceptionally well and doesn't require a 180% reg. tax. Vehicles used for business is cheaper, still significantly more expensive than vehicles in Sweden. Let's check with the Volkswagen Golf, a very ordinary car We'll choose Golf Comfortline (5d.) 1,4 TSI BMT - 122 HP with Automatic incl. VAT: VW Golf DK (Private):318.495,- DKK (59.5k USD) VW Golf SWE (Private):173.795,- DKK (32.5k USD) VW Golf DK (Company): 206.608,- DKK (38.6k USD) VW GOLF SWE (Company): Same as private

- lstamour 13y agoHuh. While the US market goes cheap. http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2045 http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2045 In Canada this translates to under CA$19,000 (or 10% off USD) and the electric's $35k or so, last I googled. I didn't know I had it that good. Still waiting for self-driving cars, personally.
