Anyone know if that is the case and if they do that in other countries?

I was talking to someone about this from Switzerland (specifically about Mercedes and how much more his was than mine in the Canadian market) and he said pricing is based off the specific countries net average income. When you look at cost of living/incomes in various countries, often where the vehicles are priced significantly higher you'll see a much higher local purchasing power than countries where they cost less.
I don't know if there's any truth to that being how the pricing is done though.
If you like numbers, go to numbeo.com and you can compare various cities/countries, it's pretty interesting.
