RE: SV: IML: dictated sizing



The weigth thing in Sweden is in my opinion a very smart way to do it. A 
modern V8 engine uses less gas than an old one, but the taxes in Norway is 
the same for both the cars, because they look at the engine size and 
horsepowers. I lived in Swedwn for 6 years, an the car tax system there is 
way smarter than in Norway.
If you think a new Volvo is expencive in Sweden, you should try Norway. :-))
it's at least 15-20000$ more here. It's a shame to think about the tax 
system against big american cars over here.
I believe there never has been an Imperial imported an sold new in Norway by 
an "authorised" Chrysler car dealer. I think that all Imperials here is 
imported used/old.
P.s. We have that 30 years old limit in norway to.
