Na, my 2016 M235 is my car and has most bells and whistles you expect in a $40K+ car. The 2020 4runner ORP is my wife's. Just find it funny that her 4runner that listed for nearly $44k doesn't have the standard stuff that even her 2015 Subaru Outback 3.6r had that listed for $35K including:
HIDs
Auto-on headlights
Real leather
Auto climate control
Comfort turn signal (3 flash)
Locking gas door (not a huge deal, just funny the 4runner doesn't have it)
Auto tailgate (don't care for it though)
Lots of soft touch interior materials (I can look past this)
The most impressive features of the 4runner are it's off road abilities. It's way up there in terms of capability and only a few vehicles match it's ability and none it's reliability. It also has great build quality.
My wife is really happy with it and that's what matters. I love driving it and think it's totally BA. I'm a car guy and I don't get caught up in a lot of tech (ordered my BMW with a 6MT and without a moonroof or nav), but there's really no excuse for the 4runner to not have many of the things I've noted above given it's price. I also think it desperately needs an 8 speed auto. It would be untouchable with all of those items, many of which have minimal cost.
I'm glad we got our 2020 ORP for around $38.5K because I'd pretty upset paying $40K+ for something so basic.
