The only thing that I really don’t care for is the “fog lamp" placement. Other than that, this thing is sweet! And my God, that interior! I bet that's what being swaddled feels like. 

I applaud your efforts, sir. But as you may well know, Jalops no longer discuss the merits of a vehicle. Now let’s get back to whining about what’s really important, the name.

I know we’re supposed to kill this, you know, evil SUV and whatnot, but I’ll be damned if that blue doesn’t look bad ass.

Shhh... this will really blow his mind:

“Why is this news ?”

Dammit Jason! Now I have to get another tramp stamp. But this time in the front. 

This brings back memories. Atlanta”snow storm” in 2011. I was leaving work in my POS 2002 Honda Accord, just cruising along, and a brand new with dealer tags Corvette goes by. Cruising at a very appropriate 60+ MPH, mind you. Traffic begins to back up as I get a few miles down the road and low and behold, that brand…

Yes. You and Stevie Wonder. 

This is the same everywhere I believe. Flashing light means the pedestrian still has the right-of-way.

“all of which should make it a serious adventure ride for some serious adventurers.”

Ugh! I just can’t get past this...

“But is it any better or worse than a new Explorer or Grand Cherokee?” Dude. Stop. Please.

I’m giving you a star for comment effort. 

You really have a hard on for SUVs today. A rock hard hard on.

What about the ass that backed his Camry into my hood a few years ago in a parking lot? Test? 

Motorcyclist here. 22 years strong. I live in a state with mandatory helmet laws. Even if I didn’t, I would still wear one because common sense. I always pose this to anti helmet folks: “I’ll give you $1,000 if you let me bash your head on the curb outside. You can wear a helmet, or not wear one. Your choice.” Guess…

Let’s go ahead and summarize the comments. SUVs/CUVs suck. Why would anyone drive this? It’s a station wagon without the sliding doors. It’s ugly. It looks like every other car ever manufactured. It will look good in the mall parking lot. It’s a grocery getter.

I used to date a girl that had a cute little blue Neon. I ran into her years later and she was driving her Mom’s Volvo. She said the Neon’s engine locked one day up and started smoking. Our convo:

NP every damn time. Dream car for me. I drove one years ago and the pucker factor has not been matched since. And this is coming from someone with 3 street bikes. Take me Lord, for I am ready to die.
