Yes if you look at the entire population of cars in HK, the exotic ratio is very high.
It makes perfect sense though, as a car is not a life necessities in HK, no one needs a car to get around. Actually it is much faster and easier to get around by subway then by a car. So people only buy a car for recreational purposes or to show off in, they don't drive it daily, combine with the 100% vehicle tax, so only rich folks owns a car. So if only rich folks buys a car for fun or to show off, of course they would mostly be exotics

Most people who live in Hong Kong are really rich people. Not just barley rich but REALLY RICH! Most are business people and it's expensive to live there and these cars are much more expensive than what the USA pays for them.
I would never move to Hong Kong unless I was in the high millions. That's why Hong Kong rather be separate from China.

The HKSAR government still gives out HK$6000 to its citizens??? 
Anyways
What BNR34 said makes sense in that in the case of Hong Kong, cars are not an absolute necessity given the coverage of MTR subway as well as the abundance of buses and taxicabs (Red = Urban Areas ; Green = New Territories ; Blue = Lantau island)
P.S.
Meanwhile, just next door to HK is............Macau
MOP550 per hour or per trip (depending on usage)

If you still have a HK bank account, they can just credit your account, you don't have to go back at all ...

Owning a car in HK is like owning a yacht in the rest of the world, is solely just for fun.
