up! SUV imminent - Taigun Concept

[Tobes_WIR35]

Could not agree more with your soccer mum observation. I really try not to be sexist and so forth but let's call a spade a spade. Generally women driving SUVs and minivans suck at it. And RE the safety issue, the whole "I feel safer up high" is such a rubbish expression. Having owned several 4WD's I can say that I feel so much safer in my GTI because I know that if I need to avoid a collision I have one of the most capable and safe cars on the road to do that. I know that if I swerve to miss something I'm not going to roll over.

Bottom line, if you want to go off road, buy a 4WD. If you're not, buy a hatch or a station wagon. If I was a family man there'd be a Passat V6 wagon in my driveway. Much more elegant and sensible than any small SUV in the city.

By the way, when I mean SUV I don't really mean micro SUV s like the Tiguan, Nissan Dualis and anything smaller than those. I mean Mazda CX5 CX7 CX9, Toyota Kluger/Prado Landcruiser, X5, Merc SUV and so on.

An SUV based on a hatchback platform isn't really a problem in my books. Although personally I don't really have any interest in buying one...

Isn't a CX5 and a Tiguan the same size?
