Autosport 2003 show in the UK

My brother has just posted some images from the Autosport 2003 show in the UK. Plenty of images of the new Evo 8 (UK spec) on there.

Go to the images section of his web site.

Great Pictures!
I wasn't too impressed with the EVO 8's looks but That Black Evo 8 makes the new STI look plain and boring.

Oh yea, and is that a LCD screen in the center?

43,424.61?? Not even close!UK has so many taxes they insert onto the cars (even taxes on taxes), so when you take that all out and add US import taxes, you get that price here in US is about 43% lover than the one in UK. So, 43,424.61 x 43% would be around $25k. Add some of the import taxes here and it gets to be around $27k!

The same calculation for the US EVO price in UK brings it around $22k, or $24k after the import taxes

Shame!! (<-- this goes to the , not Daveyd)
