Comparing only unique standard features, but both have V6, climate control, air filtration, ABS, brake assist, skid control, traction control, tire pressure monitoring, etc. Outlander V6 AWD MSRP $25,010 6 apeed shiftable auto trans, paddle shifters, less weight, 18" weels, split liftgate, skid plates, 3rd row seat, remote anti-theft alarm system, 6-Cd changer, FAST Key, keyless ignition, bluetooth, regular gasoline, privacy glass, odor absorbing interior, aluminum roof, LED rear lights, speed sensitive volume control, rear door side airbags, audio control on steering wheel, 10/100 warranty + 5 y. roadside X3 V6 AWD MSRP $38,000 more horsepower, sunroof, rear spoler, passenger seat height adjustable, illuminated vanity mirrors, cargo rails, wood trim, driver seat memory, memory key, rain-sensing windshield wipers, headlight sensor, maintenance Program. . Both have available options: leather interior, HID xenon lights, heated power front seats, navigation, digital radio, etc. Both known for excellent handling. X3 appears to be not that well equipped with features and warranty. Is it really worth $13K more?

Replying to: bpizzuti (Apr 29, 2007 1:20 pm) I agree, an X3 buyer is buying in most cases it just for status and prestige, even if the car is poorely equipped and comes with plastic "wood" trim and "leatherette". I don't think though it's pointless to compare a "luxury" class vehicle with a mainstream one. This comparison could measure the price of status and the amount of ego. No offence, healthy ego is not a bad thing though...

Replying to: chelentano (Apr 29, 2007 5:04 pm) Thing is, you'll NEVER, EVER get someone who owns or lusts after a luxury plate to admit that you're paying a LOT for incremental tangible gain. Trust me, I've tried: got this guy at work who is always trying to get me to buy a BMW because of how much he loves his X5. I'm glad he likes it, but I'm just not willing to pay the extra money for a "luxury" vehicle. Apparently, neither is the VP: he drives a Cherokee. So all these comparisons do is stir up trouble. These two models would never be cross-shopped, because of what I like to refer to as "sneer-factor."
