Default New and 2nd hand car prices in Australia... Why so expensive?

Not sure if this has been discussed before but I am interested to hear everyone's thoughts on this....

Why are both NEW and SECONDHAND cars so expensive in Australia???

Given the strength of our $A - they really should be alot cheaper shouldn't they??

For example - I have been watching Fifth Gear and they looked at second hand sports cars - an RX8 for 1500 pounds... Convert that to $A and that equates to just over $2k... $2K!!! Top Gear did a special and Richard bought a bug eyed WRX for 1500 pounds to!

It seems the same for new cars.... A VW GTi for 23,000 pounds (A$33,000)

If this was the case here - I would have cars everywhere........ But why isn't it??
