Thanks RIIIDAA, I'll try searching that! Hey Steve, thanks for the warm welcome! Yes, imported cars do have a high tax band in China but I think its not as much as 200%. For an example, my Fiesta is approx US$15k, and I believe thats how much its going to cost when its released in the US next year. You also have to take into consideration the size of the engine as higher CC's gets taxed more than the lower ones. Yeah most taxis in beijing are Hyundais and a couple of VWs too. I heard it was because one of the top minister's son is the head of Hyundai China here.. Better Hyundais than some chinese car I always say..
