Not even close to being true.

The G's sell so much cheaper in the US than in Europe that many Europeans are purchasing in the US for export back to Europe.

MBUSA MSRP for the G500 is US$89,075

European MSRP for the G500 is €91,392 or about US$142,134 at today's exchange rate.

Remove the European VAT of 19% and you get an MSRP of €76,800 or about US$119,440.

Not even close, no matter which way you figure it!
