Confuses me more...toyota gives me only raw materal costs? what else are we missing --- building costs, transportation costs, storage costs, assembly costs, bribes, taxes, octroi???
Hehe, the fact is, whatever they excuse they make up for charging extra, Toyota is charging what the market will bear. That's basically what all companies do.

They know that you want/need X feature, so they combine it with Y and Z features, and then charge a premium as well.

The only way they can be convinced to forgo their premium is for their to be competition.
