Just curious, as I can't afford anything like it, but how does €61,850 for a new entry level 9-5 Aero compare to prices in other countries? Maybe if I start doing the Lotto (it could be me)

In Germany, the Aero saloon is €41250 as a manual, €43200 as an automatic. The estate is €42350 and €44300. But you can normally expect the basic spec to be not as good as we would expect in the UK.

Expensive - my local dealer is pushing out Aero estates out at £26,000 - about €40,000.

I think the car tax, like that we get in the netherlands hikes the price up quite a lot...A 9-5 Aero here is just over 61K EUR...
