Default why is the new SI so overpriced?

is it because there is such a limited amount of cars built on that platform? its just the civic si and type r with that style right? seems like a waste. they sell around here for 27000, thats canadian. i could almost get alot of nicer cars for that much. spec v's, mazdaspeed, etc

All versions of the Civic and RSX are on the same platform.
