The comment above is on-topic. Europe has laws about price tags including all taxes and fees.

Your knee-jerk reaction is not.

I don't think it's off topic. zoover2020 is inviting Americans to Europe because the prices are honest. eurocars is giving a reason why moving to Europe is not a good idea (salaries are atrocious).

and the other reason is that "cars are twice as expensive", which ignores the context completely, otherwise it would specify whether the cars are twice as expensive on paper, or twice as expensive in reality.

Though most of the cars also are half the size, so maybe it balances out
