Cost vs value, it is just overpriced to most people for what you get, like a lot of other options. A lot of other things were more important to me and maybe if it was $1000 it would be more ordered!

It does in an E70.


I do wish it was a little bigger, it has a 3rd row, but shouldn't, it needs another 6 inches to have a usable 3rd row.
