I seem to have stirred up a hornet nest here. At first look the price seems ridiculous but I defer to the body man and hey the cost of labor in the US is much higher and this is what drive our economy to China in the first place. If you look at Ferrari options they can be obscenely priced for the smallest of options and buyers don't ball at that. Hey owners will appreciate the extras when it comes to sell as they will be highly covered.

They (Ferrari and others) took a lesson from Porsche, now the new Corvette and Ford are doing it too. (new Corvettes can double in price with all the options available)
Also, they all have learned from Porsche to do the special edition limited quantity runs to keep attention on the brand (lots of press coverage) and unique models in the high-priced, high-profit segment.
Seems as though some like to brag that they "had" to pay for these high dollar options.
Keeps things interesting...
