If the $30k difference (it's a range, it will obviously be more or less depending on your options) is in the cards for you, I'd second Greg's recommendation to take a look at a new Diesel. The low HP and high 0-60 numbers don't do it justice in it's stock configuration and for $350 and 15 minutes of your time the BlueSpark indeed makes it a whole new animal.
No PTV or 4 zone climate controls if either of those are "musts" for you though.

im sure i will get chastised for this line of thinking but we know this SUV shares some of its design and parts w/ VW's Toureg. Nothing wrong w/ that. What interesting is just how much is shared. Just look under the car.

Yeah if they'd bring the CDS over that would seriously be a no brainer (I was already well beyond what I wanted to spend on a SUV, but I'd find another 10-15k for that beast).
My only real problem with the VW and Audi are their price points. On the VW to get the options I wanted puts me at the Executive line which comes in only $10k less than I paid for the CD and I (mostly) didn't get a bunch of stuff that I absolutely didn't want (20" wheels, pano roof, etc..). Ever since they released the siblings I've always questioned their pricing structure.

I suggest you read your waranty in more detail. I believe there is only three items covered under the 8 years / 80k miles: Catalytic Convertor, Electronic Emisssions ECU and OBD Controler. Everything else is at your cost, and a hefty cost.

Any equipment required to pass an emissions test is covered by federal law.

This stunned me when I started having problems with emission items. I have been paying for all my emission repairs since passing 2 years.

PCNA warranty covers "all adjustments, repairs and replacements necessary to ensure your car’s compliance with Environmental Protection Agency emission standards, and its continued compliance for the remainder of the warranty period (if properly maintained and used);" during the first 24,000 miles (2 years)
...and for the balance of the warranty to 80,000 miles (8 years) it covers only this: "adjust, repair, or replace the catalytic converter, Emission Control Unit, or On-Board Diagnostic System."
All this is in accordance with US Federal regulations and I believe Needsdecaf is from TX.
