In the UK all our goods, electronics through to cars are sold at a rediculous premium compared to the USA and other countries. Take for example a European, Mercedes C63 AMG - Yours in the US brand new for $59,000. Oh, but what do Mercedes decide to charge us in the UK? Oddly £58,000.

Sound fair? well if you have no concept of exchange rates it might, but if you do know the value of the pound then you will know that £58,000 is more like $90,000!

Its a similar story whatever product it is - the only exception being american made goods which are sold even cheaper in the US vs UK. I remember seeing an article about one of the new style american muscle cars that came out a few years ago (cant remember which one)- you could pick one up in the us on a basic spec for like $20,000 - When they cam to the UK they were more Like £40,000 to buy ($60,000).
