The ones that are in the $40s are the upper level ones with the really expensive options on them -- glass roof, GPS, DVD entertainment system, etc.
Because the showroom models are a lot of high end, the impression people get is that they're all that expensive.
If anyone has ever looked at a model house, the builders put a crapload of upgrades in -- granite counters, hardwood floors, etc. so that people come in and go, "Wow, I want one just like it." Only after you sit down with the sales person do you find out that granite and hardwood is extra.
One of the model homes on my street, we were interested in because it was "starting at" $340G. What they didn't say was that was the "base price". With the upgrades, it was listed at $425G
