No point comparing to US..everything is cheaper there..they only pay about 60k for their AMGs. But it's a valid point to compare it to outgoing aus model prices. current gen v6-L was a lot more than 44k when it came out though. It was like 49 ish or slightly above on road. So it's not really an 11k difference. Most likely, when sales slump, new gen prices will be dropped significantly like they did with current model.
No issues with late model trannies at all. Maybe you're thinking back to the 6th gen, but I can tell you havn't driven a Honda v6. The old mans 7th gen 3.0 has oodles of bottom end grunt. Much more responsive than even the current model 328i I drove and E320s etc. I don't think Honda needed to go above 3.0. That car had the right balance.
