One thing to consider is the LR with the acceleration boost. I was doubtful myself but its is really noticeable and will save you $8000 from a performance. You also get the smaller wheels for a better ride quality.

This is exactly why we are getting an XC90, we have two kids under 10 and need to drive friends around but on road trips will put the third row down and use the extra space

So are they finally offering deal on the Palisade or will some joker tell me he needs $4k over sticker again.
