    Don't you think Php2 Million pesos converted to American Dollars = $40,000
    is too expensive?

    In US. The price of a E-Class Benz is the same.

    although....

    local mazda3 800k
    US price $14k = 700k

    konti lang difference.

    the tax / price differential is on the much more expensive cars. unfortunately the tax brackets aren't changing, but car prices are steadily creeping upward.
