I've seen several on the road up here in Maine. They're cute. Kind of a militarized minivan.
Get ready for a rant...
SUV's are extinct! At least in the US market. They have been replaced by SLV's; Sport Luxury Vehicles. There is nothing Utilitarian about leather seats, CD players, cruise control, exterior
thermometers, climate control and all those other frills that the suburban crowd is so enamored with. SUV's were trucks. What passes for an SUV's today is a pimp mobiles on steroids. The old Land
Rovers, Land Cruisers, Four Runners and Carryalls and Suburbans were Utility vehicles. As of course are the vast majority of MVs we love so well.
