Buying a car in some countries is almost impossible due to outrageous taxes. Turkey is one of the worst offenders, forcing some brands to put small engines in their larger models to fit into lower tax brackets. That's why Mercedes sells the latest E-Class with a 1.5-liter engine, a 1496-cc unit to be specific. The premium sedan starts at the equivalent of $63,400 or about as much as an E350 4Matic here in the United States.
