Why is everyone shocked by the MSRP? Im very confused.

Basic economics of INFLATION + Demand + supply and logistics issues.

Parts cost go up, prices of end products go up, wtf am I missing here people.

We all get inflation but with strong dollar and yen down the toilet, this car shouldn't cost much more than 35k US in reality.

That's not how FX works, you don't adjust MSRP or prices to account for FX. Any gains or loss for FX is always an UNREALIZED gain or loss on.

This is how corporate accounting and pricing works. FX is far to unpredictable to adjust sales prices against. Fluctuations are always netted out during pricing strategy modeling.

Actually thats how it works but I don't' really care to debating on finances here. 1+1 doesn't equal 4.
