Singapore has a ton of policies that make car ownership extremely expensive, including a 10-year certificate of ownership that costs over $100,000 USD. Maybe that’s what you were thinking of?
Fuel in Norway is very expensive, and I’m sure other ownership costs are similar. But that’s true of much of Europe and they have very good public transit so a car isn’t as much of a necessity as it is in the US.

Your understanding is that in one of the countries with the least difference between rich and poor only the rich can afford cars?

Saying that the difference is small is wrong in today’s Norway. The difference is growing and are just getting worse.
