Agreed on the Landcruiser point. Anything is better than a Landcruiser.

However what's the point of buying a tall 7 seater that is supposedly off road capable when they'll rarely carry 7 people (if they ever do), will never tow and certainly won't go off road. Caught up with a friend from uni (who's just bought a Tucson or whatever the smaller Hyundai SUV is) and she couldn't believe the space in the Octavia.

Naturally I understand why Skoda has made this - because it's what the consumer wants. I just happen to live in a part of Sydney where SUVs are mandatory for no reason other than because they can buy one and carry little Johnny to soccer.
