I don't mean to sound so negative but I can't help feeling whenever I'm in a new car, be that of my brother in law's who's doing pretty well currently or checking out a new car on exhibit that I fail to see where half or more the money has gone to in the car. . Until it came to my understanding that they are sold at much lower prices outside.

It doesn't feel like a car that carries such value when you compare with the amount of money the car is selling and certainly don't look as much as well especially in the inside or interior. And it goes with basically any other car that's being sold today even to the basic small cars. I bet even at half the prices they are selling today, car manufacturers would still reap plenty margin especially if they are mass produced cars.
No I do not take a negative part in this, I am fully aware that the prices of various services and goods are different in your country versus country in West.
