Wow, good to know SUV's will still be around a thousand years from now.

I really don't get these half car-half SUV things. X6. FX35. AMC Eagle.

CJ Thunder · 01-28-2008, 01:55 PM

If GM made they Prevue I might buy that. I have absolutely no need for four doors.

I think the spyshot might be just about anything, if it's a PSA, it might be a C4 Break... That said, the rendering doesn't look half as bad as it could, certainly not as bad as the 4007.

HoosierRon, it's because "jacked-up" and "pregnant" are in vogue. Worse aerodynamics, more prone to roll-overs - absolutely understandable why people go for that!

That said, I find the AMC Eagle much more bearable than the likes of Lexoid RX or Chrysler Pacifica.

I've got a problem with the Pacifica and Taurus X too. Once again, they are examples of vehicles that can't decide what they are: half wagon/half almost cross-over. Hideous.

Give me a V70R any day, and you can keep the rest.

Holy mutha that looks hot! I can 'get' these vehicles... people loved SUVs when they came out (and many still do) because they offer a higher seating positon and good command of the road. Many of the faults (that Bravada points out) along with low gas mileage and high price are minimised with these smaller versions. Plus, in regular driving you don't roll these things over. It's like a refining of the brute SUV class into something a little more manageable.

Or put the Daewoo T2X concept into production. I think a coupe-like crossover would find a ready market, appealing to customers who like the versatility of an SUV, but without the "station wagon" image...

And, thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, I plan on being around to drive one
