I just priced one out they way I would want it and the total came to $77690!! I paid about $15K less than that for my '04 4.4 and even that was about $30K over what my budget would call "reasonable". This really bums me out as this new X is out of reach for me. I hate it when they say "it's only a couple $K over the cost of the '06 model" as these options really put this machine over the top. It just doesn't make sense to me to spend that kind of dough on a vehicle and skip some options that you want to save a few bucks, but the options I would want (just about everything but the 3rd row seats) add up to about $22.5K!!! I could buy a top of the line Harley for that kind of money!!! WTF!!!!
