I don't think anyone blames the americans for using their cars if they
live miles from nowhere. But you don't need a gas guzzling 5.0 V8 SUV to
bring the groceries back from the shops.


But you do need to own something that's also suitable for long trips on
sometimes very poor roads. The attraction of the SUV concept is that it's
a more suitable compromise than an even bigger traditional 4x4 or pickup
truck.


And you can still drive your kids to school that's half way up a f***ing
mountain.
