Is that really the median car sold in Denmark? I'm doubtful.

Not in Denmark because of the tax, but in other countries with similar wealth it's pretty standard. In the US and in Germany it's around $35,000.

You seem to be contradicting yourself :)

Actually I did have a dig around after my comment and I'm surprised just how much people are spending on their cars. The median wage in the UK isn't much higher than the median new car price.
