> 64 LA subway cars cost $176 million [1]. That seems really high to me, at about $3 million per subway car.

That seems high to me, full-stop. The London Underground S-Stock order came to around £1 million per car (though was a much, much larger order); even smaller orders of Bombardier Movia family trains have come far closer to that than the $3 million per car.
