2013 Changes

[501s]

New screens (look like the Supra screens), new software, $12k power tower, %6 price increases, loss of DD models ....... all sound like HUGE steps forward to me.

It seems us as buyers are footing the ENTIRE bill for all their R and D and whatever past excuses have been used, ... These 5% price increases year after year are going to price them out of business eventually (or we should just all sell our houses and find a way to live in our boats, since they will cost the same). We paid a little under $70k for a LOADED 2010 X2 brand new in January 2010, I couldn't get a stripped X2 for that now according to our dealer. Was looking at a new X30, but we may just need to hunker down and keep the X2 forever.

This is getting ridiculous.

i will have to agree 100%! thought about a x25 but looks like my 07 x2 will be with me for sometime!

Loving the price forecast...means my 95 will be worth more... eash is right...was considering a new 197 in a couple years but at that rate I will need a 30 year note...

Is that a Murphy display as in Murphy's Law? Anything that can go wrong will go wrong? I thought the BIG already had a corner on that market?

No more X14 DD or X7
Another new tower.
Different-sized screen options.
Something to do with iPhone/iPad.
New LED lighting options.

I absolutely agree that the pricing is getting out of hand. However the new X-30 starts at $80,000 which seems much cheaper than the X-25.

Wow, that would seriously hurt my feelings. I have a hankering for the X-14. I'm a diehard DD enthusiast. Without the X-14 option, I think I will wander aimlessly...

Each year, people ***** about the prices (and I understand the complaint) but they keep selling boats and adding more expensive options.

So in summary....if you buy it, they will build it.
