I'm not sure how Toyota is selling the car in the US for 20% lower than in their domestic market. I guess it's just that the US is an important enough market for this car they don't want to tank it by over-pricing. They can't be making that much on this car here...
It is the volume in US support the on going mass production and pay back of R&D and tooling.
