    In case you’re serious; in most places in the world, cars are a luxury and taxed as such. In island nation in particular, imports are also very expensive in general and import taxes are most of their revenues.

    TLDR: tax the rich, poor don’t need cars in sane cities.

        A lot of island nations have extreme import taxes on cars. See: every Caribbean island.

          developing countries always have the highest taxes. i’m not aware of a single developing country that has cheap cars…
