We got the same deal here in Portugal, VW Golf "Van" is about 5000€ cheaper than the 5 seat version. Several makes have the "Van" option in order to lower the taxes. Mercedes doesn't have a B Class Van here though. The difference isn't alot between the van and car. I have read in news articles that Denmark has the most expensive cars in europe, but 72000€ is crazy

Speak up!

But it is all relative as all the other makes of car are dearer due to the tax situation & probably cost of living & wages are higher. If the starting price for cars in Canada were say $80,00 I am sure people would pay $108,00 for a B.
There is talk of one of the Renault versions being sold in central Europe for about £3,000 but you or I would never get it for that price in our countries.

Having been at the Copenhagen airport in 2005, I can say it's freakin' expensive there, but do Danish people really make $200,000 CDN per year on average???

I don't know but it looks like they seriously don't want them buying cars with the crippling sort of taxation that has been mentioned.

At those prices, everyone should be driving Nano's.
Why at $108,000 CDN, we could have 3 different coloured B's, depending on our moods.

Shh If were not careful everyone will be emigrating from Denmark in order to be able to afford a B
