Not really, unless you count "the Australia tax". It's more expensive to do business here in the first place, and quite apart from that things just, well, cost more. We typically pay more for everything except a lot of new tech devices which are the same price almost everywhere. Why? Can't tell you.
We're not getting ripped off that badly on the 86, I mean we're getting GT spec for the same cost as Japan, and at least we don't pay extra for satellite navigation/infotainment, even if we miss out on a couple pads in the cab and footwell lights.
