I'll give you a former real world example (former, so it doesn't get me in deep doo-doo with some folks):
The late, lamented Colorado and canyon were available in their later years with a V8 5.3 option. Cost quite a few dollars extra. I'm told the inline 5-cylinder engine that was priced well-below the 5.3 actually cost more to produce than the 5.3. why? Volume (1,000,000s of 5.3s out there), and architecture (OHC 3.7 vs. OHV 5.3).
Believable? Yes.
"Fair"? apparently, as they sold quite a few 5.3s in those trucks...more than they're able to build as 7.0 Gen-5 Z/28s...
