Same prices here. But a lot of big cars on the road. That's because  
there still is a big company car culture over here: only untill very  
recently the ruling was such that both employer and employee were  
benefiting of giving or getting a company car.
Now, it's becoming less interesting for the employers, but since  
there are a lot of self employed folks over here (because of better  
taxes) that doesn't change much: for them, a car, no matter how big  
it is, is tax deductible, as are fuel costs.
