That's amazing for US buyers. Usually cost in GBP is a near direct translation to cost in USD. If not only the cost looks encouraging, the options certainly do too.

I find that if you take the UK price of any of their cars and multiply between 1.2 - 1.3, the price translates very accurately to the price of our cars here in US dollars.

For example:
Honda S2000 (UK) = 25995 x 1.25 = 32500
BMW M3 (UK) = 38500 x 1.3 = 50500
Lexus SC430 (UK) = 50850 x 1.2 = 61020


If that is the case, expect that Evo to cost atleast $33,300 over here. However, I don't see any reason why couldn't sell the same car, with the same equipment, for less here in as opposed to the UK.

The actual currency exchange is about 1.55. The UK folks are burdened with lots of additional taxes (VAT). That is why their cars are sooo expensive.......


S2000 - Uk 25,995 = the USA equivolent of $40,292

so...... it is pretty hard to figure out what the USA pricing will be based on another country.

Same goes with Japan.... if you muliply the S2000 out it is something like $26k in US dollars.
