The increases have been so strong that, in one quarter, of 10 models that could be chosen for an average of $4 million (three of them still holding the $3.7 million average), only four options remained that did not break the $5 million barrier. The rest have already passed that figure.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a more equipped versionwe will have to think about spending $6 million or more to have all the security systems, leather seats, automatic box and other “luxuries”.
