Aye
I mean in a way its the same argument with MV6 / Elite owners - must be 50% on here own Elites, and even the CDX gets snubbed as 'lowly' (when in reality the only thing you'd notice day-to-day is lack of leather seats - but some Elites have velour too)
I was looking at that last week, there isn't much difference between an Elite and a CDX with leather. Some of the differences are hard to see as an improvement; the self-levelling rear suspension(I've towed with it twice in 5 years) and the Bose stereo that almost certainly has a wornout head unit. Others like the memory seats are of very limited use to me as the car is very rarely driven by other drivers. I'd like the heated driver's seat to work, as the other 3 still do but that's a fault with my car.
These are the things I'd actually miss:
did they do a 3.0l CDX? A 2.5 costs the same to own as a 3.0l, but isn't as nice to drive.
the auto-dipping rearview mirror. Cheap and easy to retro-fit so is hardly a problem
Cruise control. Another retro-fit if the car didn't come with it
Sunroof. I use it all year round except on really hot days when the A/C is better.
