in the EU, and the US, manufacturers cannot set the prices at which dealers sell the product .. otherwise it would be resale price maintenance, and there would no price competition in the channel

hence "Recommended" Retail Price and "Suggested" Retail Price

Ferrari and Tesla are two that come to mind that do not fit your assertion.

 

Tesla sells direct. So that's different.

Ferrari still do the dealer model, they don't really have stuff in writing cause that's against the law, but they 'strongly' firmly' 'discourage' dealers from selling at a price higher than MSRP for new cars. All dealers falls inline.
