that means uk pays around 50% extra for our cars - by that logic you could probably be expecting to pay:
£20000 * 0.66 = £13200 or...

$20,407 USD (at current exchange rate)
probably rounded up to $22,000 or something id guess
australia is in a similar boat with inflation ay. we pay around 40-50% more for cars that we have here in comparison to usa, and almost on par with you brits
sorry to reveive a old post btw, im new here :p
