I don't doubt it. On my BMW, I was impressed by how heavy the sheet metal body panels were. If you pushed against them, they didn't flex. They were much thicker than the panels you get on any other car. That much steel isn't going to come cheap though. Everything else is built the same way. A simple alternator will be $700. Brake caliper is $320. It's not gouging either. It's simply built to last forever. Don't worry about the alternator costing so much because you'll never need to replace it. When you start breaking a lot of stuff in a crash, however, it gets expensive very fast.
