if this is your logic, lets use the FJ Cruiser as an example (both made in Japan, both lowish volume).
in japan FJ is around 3.3M @ 80 that's around $41,250. RRP here is $44,990.00 + orc.
the 86 is rumoured to starts in the mid 2M, lets say 2.7M = $33,750. therefore given your logic, the 86 should start around $37k + orc for the base model.
CRZ in japan starts from 2.3M = $28,750, nearly $4-9k higher than your rumored claim of starting at $20k-25k. Aussie spec cars also have better spec than the cheapest CRZ in Japan.
also you can't just compare what Honda does/did to what Toyota will do. their pricing strategy is most likely different.
