2019 Mercedes-Benz C200, C250 Dodge Luxury Car Tax

The addition of start-stop technology to the four-cylinder petrol models in the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class range will save customers money on fuel as well as reduce the tax they pay at purchase time. The upgraded sedan and Estate variants of the C200 and C250 are now rated below the 7.0 litres per 100km threshold for fuel-efficient vehicles under the federal government鈥檚 Luxury Car Tax (LCT). 2300 saving for C250 buyers. 57,466 are considered luxury cars and are subject to the tax, which is payable on 33 per cent of the GST-exclusive value that exceeds the LCT threshold. 75,375 that use no more than 7.0L/100km are exempt from LCT. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C200 and C250 sedans are now officially rated at 6.8L/100km - both down almost 10 per cent from 7.2L/100km. The C200 and C250 Estates now use 6.9L/100km, down from 7.3L/100km and 7.4L/100km respectively. Mercedes-Benz Australia managing director Horst von Sanden said it was pleasing to help Australians evade the tax. 鈥淥ur position on the Luxury Car Tax is well known; we do not believe or accept that any vehicle purchaser should pay LCT as it is a tax on technology and safety. No other so-called luxury purchase is subject to such a regressive, discriminatory and inequitable tax,鈥?von Sanden said. The C250 Coupe will get a similar upgrade from March production. Mercedes-Benz Australia鈥檚 David McCarthy said pricing details would be confirmed closer to the arrival of those cars, which are expected in showrooms from early May. McCarthy said the entry-level C180 Coupe would not adopt start-stop technology at this stage, but said he was hopeful it too would benefit from the fuel-saving feature in the near future.

When the Eclipse debuted in 1990, it became an instant sensation in the rave young car buyers' demographic, paving the way for launch of mid-sized Gallant and the compact Lancer Evolution. In 1995, the Eclipse was redesigned to compete more aggressively with higher priced cars from Honda and Acura. 23,399 price point. It is also a lot heavier with a curb weight at more than 3,300 lbs. Facing competition from the Acura RSX, Mazda RX-8, and Toyota Scion; the 2007 Eclipse works harder to retain its share of the pie. If space is an important criterion in choosing your next car, the 2007 Mazda6 is a valid argument for the buyer who seeks ubiquitous design in a purposeful family-oriented new car. The 2007 Mazda6 has more leg room than a VW Passat, Subaru WRX, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, and the Audi A4. It is also the only car in the line up that's available as a sedan, wagon, hatchback, and race (Mazdaspeed6) version.

30,000, you get a vehicle that satisfies your needs for an uncompromising design while understanding your family obligations. The Mazda6 is a somewhat larger version of the popular Mazda3. The top of the line Mazdaspeed6 has a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-4, gorgeous trim, and choice of two exceptional exterior colors: smokestone and violet gray. Unfortunately, there's no Mazdaspeed6 wagon, but regardless which version you choose you'll get a responsive car that averages 24/32 mpg. There was once a popular notion that highbrow luxury belonged only in the hallowed grounds of the German and Italian auto manufacturers. This might have been true ten or even twenty years ago, but not today. The caliber of vehicles emerging from the Toyota Motor Company, and Honda - even those made in American manufacturing plants, are second to none. It's now possible to own a fully-loaded, emotionally charged 2007 Toyota Camry mid-size sedan for less than it costs for an entry level BMW 3 Series, or the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and even the Honda Accord. The redesigned 2007 Camry picks up the pace with an art deco inspired interior. Power windows, door locks and multi-adjustable seats with lumbar support are standard in all trims.

This is to drive a message home not only to BMW and Mercedes, but also to the Honda - the new Camry makes viable economical sense. Bold new exterior shape make the new Camry appear as if it is draped in fine Eastern apparel. The look has a more of a landscape-inspired feel, the larger than normal headlights, integrated bumpers and dual crease lines on the nose make the front appear more prominent. The Camry has always been a popular selling car in the USA. The new version takes the game to a higher playing field. 27,820, the new Camry is indeed a valid challenger to the anointed position enjoyed by the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Honda Accord and the Mazda6. Imagine waking up one morning to find a 2007 Acura TSX parked in your garage. You would probably grab the keys and head out for a test drive.

Within moments, you realize this sharp-looking, well handling, and exceptionally powered 2007 Acura TSX is a resourceful lean machine. The beauty of the new TSX is the invulnerability of build quality and the variability of torque. The TSX is not a muscle car, but the availability of torque across the full range of the rpm will have to think twice about the popularity of more expensive German sedans. With the discontinuation of the Acura RSX in 2007, the TSX will become the new entry-level car in the Acura lineup. 29,890. An edgier version of the Honda Accord, the TSX averages 22/30 mpg. Acura plans to sell 15,000 units per annum. With more cars on the road today than at any moment in history, Honda is aware of the many environmental challenges we face ahead. Maximizing efficiency and reducing pollutants is the new paradigm that all car companies need to address.
