Yep, those chrome door handles on the "special edition" are standard on the white $35K base model overseas w/ the steel wheels and vinyl, flip down 3rd row seats. And the air scoop on the USA "sport edition" 4runner hoods is actually the air intake for the turbo intercooler overseas. It's just US marketers have cleverly relabelled it and ask for way more money than its worth.

And yes, $61K is way too high, IMHO. A new LC200 is around $72K, maybe you could fanagle a better deal w/ gas at $4/gal, but most buyers in the premium SUV market don't care if gas is $3 or $5/gal.
