Escort seems to have a fear of substantially lowering prices on its existing products, so every new one will be ever farther above "a reasonable price."
The difference between a blue x50 and a 9500ix is $160, so figure that's what they want for the addition of GPS, Truelock and the other bits that make it work.
The difference between an iQ and a 9500ix is $150, so figure that's what they want for the addition of the screen and navigation bits.
The difference between a Redline and a red x50 is $200, so that's what they want for using the M3 instead of the M4.
$160 for GPS
$150 for navigation on top of that
$200 for stealth
$??? for arrows when they add them
That's $510 for all the "features." If you add them to the price of a basic x50, that's $810, plus who knows how much for arrows once they can use them. It would probably be close to $1000.
It's sort of like if you had to pay $100,000 for a Honda Civic because of all the features it has over a Model T. But just think of the value.
