Predictably, they are practing sloppy journalism. Your 2000 lpt is indeed about 10k lower than the 2010 Aero -- which is presently the only model availble to us. This is just sticker prices, not adjusted for inflation, etc.
It is NOT an apples to apples comparison, and the article even mentions the price of the 2010 *base* model -- but it seems that journalists don't know/care about fact-checking, editorial consistency, and the like. It seems those pesky facts get in the way of meeting a deadline, especially in the age of 24 hour digital news.
Sigh.
