. Not sure if they both have the same models but just re-badged because I see both brands where I live.

a hyundai or kia where you live probably costs as much as an altima here. right?

Well yeah, cars in general are way more expensive over here in Europe compared to ones in America, so you're probably right. A Rio (base model) costs $19900 (VAT) over here in Europe. In Euro terms they're quite cheap (If you're OK with the bad brand image).

I think Hyundai is slightly more expensive over here because it's got a slightly better brand image than KIA. A Sonata 2.0 diesel (Executive) is $37924 (VAT), that's the price of a Z in America

Yeah tell me about it, we're getting ripped off completely!!!!

My Z cost me $59363 (full option, persimmon) BUT we get an optional reverse parking aid so it's totally worth the money

.

By the way, we have to pay a one off tax of $6523 before you can drive the car on public roads. And then on top of that you have a yearly road tax of $1957. The insurance for such cars is a killer too. That's why this car is going to be SUPER rare in this country.

Grand total of $67843 without insurance to buy and drive a full option 370z in Belgium

.
