Según un estudio del Profesor Herakles Polemarchakis, antiguo ministro de economía, hay más Porsche Cayenne en Grecia que contribuyentes que declaren ingresos de 50.000 euros al año o más. (...) Algo no está bien cuando la modesta ciudad de Larisa, capital de la provincia agrícola de Thessaly, con 250.000 habitantes, tiene más Porsche per capita que ciudades como Nueva York o Londres. Es la ciudad del mundo con más Porsche Cayenne per capita.

Fast cars and loose fiscal morals: there are more Porsches in Greece than taxpayers declaring 50,000 euro incomes – Telegraph Blogs


Jubilation about the German deal to save the euro could prove short-lived if fresh news of Greek tax evasion gains wider currency. There are more Porsche Cayennes registered in Greece than taxpayers declaring an income of 50,000 euros (£43,800) or more, according to research by Professor Herakles Polemarchakis, former head of the Greek prime minister’s economic department.
While German car workers may take pride in this evidence of their export success, German taxpayers may be less keen to bail out a nation whose population appears to take such a cavalier approach to paying its fiscal dues. Never mind all that macroeconomic talk about deficit distress, many Greeks are still plainly riding high on the hog.
Something can’t be right when the modest city of Larisa, capital of the agricultural region of Thessaly with 250,000 inhabitants, has more Porsches per head of the population than New York or London.
Perhaps the penny – or the euro – is already dropping, because Professor Polemarchakis writes that Larissa “is the talk of the town in Stuttgart, the cradle of the German automobile industry, and, particularly, in the Porsche headquarters there”, since it “tops the list, world-wide, for the per-capita ownership of Porsche Cayennes”.
“The proliferation of Cayennes is a curiosity, given that farming is not a flourishing sector in Greece, where agricultural output generates a mere 3.2pc of Gross National Product (GNP) in 2009 – down from 6.65pc in 2000 – and transfers and subsidies from the European Commission provide roughly half of the nation’s agricultural income.
“A couple of years ago, there were more Cayennes circulating in Greece than individuals who declared and paid taxes on an annual income of more than 50,000 euros.”
Hard to believe? Don’t take my word for it. The report in Athens News will add to fears, expressed by leading economist George Soros and others, that last week’s deal to save the euro can only buy a little time – not a permanent solution. China may also question why it should support economies that pay their unemployed more than most of its workers earn.
Binding such widely differing cultures as Greece and Germany together was always going to be a problem; not least because of diverging attitudes to such financial fundamentals as work and tax. Now, ahead of this week’s G20 Summit in Cannes, some euro-enthusiast must be sent to the cradle of culture to explain that deficits will balloon unless all taxpayers pay their fiscal dues. I nominate Vince Cable.

Menuda estupidez... como cuantifican los Porsches que hay en Larissa y los que hay en Nueva York?

Es un pais del sur de europa, en el sur la gente es jeta, vive en la economia sumergida y pasa de impuestos (no todos pero si más que en el norte) es un hecho por todos sabido.

Basta ya de topicazos:

Curiosidad: Ventas en Europa del segmento E durante 2011

Grecia: 11 millones


Republica Checa, 10.5 millones de habitantes:


Irlanda, 4.5 millones y aun con su crisis de campeonato:


Y por supuesto Suiza, 7 millones de habitantes:


Vamos, que de coches de gamas medias-altas, hasta en la Republica Checa se venden 10 veces mas que en Grecia en 2011. La economia griega esta muerta.

Se puede saber por que esa predileccion de todo garrulo con credito a comprar ESE coche precisamente? tiene que haber algun tipo de razon oculta.

Alguien conoce a algun engendro que tenga ese monstruo de coche y le haya explicado los motivos de su compra?

Pues los mismos motivos que cualquiera que se compre un suv y no pise el campo en la vida. Pero unos se compran un dacia duster y otros un porsche cayenne.
Aunque muchas veces esta mas apurado el del dacia que no el del porsche...
