What's the catch? One is in Germany, the other is on e-bay. F-E-D-E-R-A-L-I-Z-E-D http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1827426267&r=0&t=0 http://www.autoscout24.de/home/index/detail.asp?id=12193677&sc=&make=47&pricefrom=&euro to=&zip= Line these two cars up side by side, and carefully go over exactly what Uncle Sam is doing to protect his citizens from the deathtrap as built by those dumb Europeans. (clue - not much!). But it is enough to justify the 55K! Buy two in Europe, throw one away or crash test it to death, still save money! Unrealistic, unfortunately. GRRR!

Finally something expensive in US compared to europe. We pay more then 2 times the price for a litre of gas... :) But I know you are right the prices differ faaaar to much. But I think you don't have to get the $100k price very serious. Some posts before this there was a '84 G wich costs $27k (am I right?, just remember...). Some said that we don't know something about that vehicle that makes 'm expensive... Same story with this G... maybe..
