Very nice! Are those OEM fender flares? They look like it. If so, where does one get them and what kind of cost are we looking at? I was figuring I could upgrade the wheels as well, since the stuff on the "sport activity package" is hardly sporty, other than the seats. And the multi-contour seats can be ordered seperately on the 35d.
I like your idea of a basic model. This is, after all, still an SUV. It will be my wife's ride, but at some point the layers of luxury start to make me feel uncomfortable. I want one for the handling, comfort, and looks. Not a vehicle I'm afraid to put the dogs into.
If I can talk her out of her fancy options this would be a nice route to go. Save $5,000 or so for other things in life. I bet 99% of people (non enthusiasts) would never know yours didn't cost $70K. Those wheels blow away what I see on most used ones for sale. (the basic 18's usually)
