They are imports over here. No models are made for this country. so being left hand drive bumps up the price, also the are 3.0L + engines which in this country can also shove the insurance right up.

:)over here in the uk its all about age... when i was 19 i got my first peugeot 205 gti. now these are excellent cars, they handle as well as if not better than a lot of 'performance' cars i have driven, and in standard form my 1.9 would hit 0-60 in 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 124 mph.    not bad when youre 19, but my insurance cost me

UUUH, thats per month.
