Not sure what program you watched and when but prices for cars, whether they are economy or luxury, are less expensive in USA than just about anywhere in the world. Because it is most competitive market.

For example I can buy a Porsche 911 Turbo in Ocala for $191,000. Same car in Germany is $213,000 Euros, or $259,860 USD. In China $366,000
