The round tailpipes are a letdown but I have lived with mine without changing them out despite having the option for many years. The other factor though newer is not always better, I would not want to pay so much for older tech/engineering. Did they have top view in the '10s? So options prob can't be exactly the same either. Do you not want the '12s with the LED coronas?
I'd swap to a 3.5i in a heartbeat but given the option to pay the same price for a '10 4.8, I would pass.

Let's be honest--2 or 3 MPG difference between a 3.0, 3.5 and 4.8 is not worth saying "I get better gas mileage than you". These are 6,000 lb SUVs and not only that they designed for performance and to be driven--not be economical. There are many deals to be had out there--I bought my '08 4.8 last October for $48K that stickered for $75K 2 years prior and it only had 16K miles on it.
