No kidding. I'm currently learning this first hand. It's like pricing a German car. You look at the entry level price and think it's a great deal for a BMW/Audi/MB and then you realize the thing is so stripped down you are surprised it doesn't have manual crank windows so you add options just to get the car's level of equipment equivalent to a loaded Civic (NAV, HID, rear backup camera, etc) and factor in the destination charges and other fees the car that you would like to purchase ends up being almost double the original entry level price.
