Its irrelevant because not EVERY dealer is charging over MSRP, and definitely not that MUCH over MSRP.
It would be like someone taking a picture of a loaf of bread with a $468 price tag, "OMG Bread is so expensive, thats crazy!!!" Local news get in on it, running reports on it, national media gets involved "The price of food is out of control!!!! Everyone is going to starve to death because food is so expensive!!!!" Then we get senate hearings on how we can save society from starvation due to rising cost of food...
All because one kid with a price gun didn't put the decimal point in a price... is that 1 price tag relevant in the grand scheme of things?
Yes, I am 100% sure there are dealers charging 50% over MSRP. But anyone serious about buying an R is going to shop around. I have gone half way across the country to save 1-2k on a car, I would definitely do it for 16k savings..
So no, basing a whole conversation on 1 stupidly over priced marked up dealer, is irrelevant.
In case you still believe every single dealer in the country is pricing Rs at 60k +, here is 1 of many listings showing for MSRP.

If you are ONLY talking about what dealerships are going to price the GR at, yes, there will be dealers charging over MSRP. And yes, if they only release say 1000 for the entire country, its possible EVERY car will be over MSRP.
