Just look at the maker's history > "ford"
well, there you go.
I'm the director of VSH (Vlad's Spec Holden), because HSV were doing it ass about.

Territory reliability will always be problematic. What do you expect when you stick a high and heavy body onto a falcon platform? Brakes, suspension and autos don't like the added loads!

im not a fan of them because for one I think they look shit but in general I dislike suv type cars, everyone thinks they need them and they are always getting in the way!

there are legit reasons for having them like caravan or other towing, but that's probably 10% of people that own them actually use them!

Not all of the SUVs look like crap and get in the way - I drove a Lexus RX350 and I would challenge a lot of sedans to keep up through the twisty roads up where I live. Being near the snow, AWD and ground clearance are almost mandatory, and when driving in the city the higher stance is great in traffic.

Horses for courses.
