A quick look at the price list says that the SRP for the 4x4 A/T is 1.718M, 4x2 A/T 1.585M and 4x2 M/T 1.528M. Still competitive if you ask me, especially considering the boatload of features involved. The Alterra is the only one left in its class to offer a manual tranny with a 3.0L engine, and if I'm not mistaken, also the most fuel efficient among the 3.0L group. Also, I have yet to see a smoky Alterra, even with the old 2005 units.
