pricing isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
I mean for around $78,000 you can get a damn nice X7 which is only $5,000 more than my 2016 X6 stickered for and this thing is larger with a third row as standard and better engine (quicker according to estimates).
even adding on some other options I would probably get it to $83,000 which again is a ton of money but right where it should be against competition.
having said all that I still can't see spending $20,000 more than my Volvo XC90 cost, I'll save that cash for my next M
wife was on board with that thinking too
