Re: I-spy an Ugly SUV
This goes in 2 places.
A product of "Morris Garages" you might think. That great British Marque. Really getting "with it" and producing its own SUV Great.

Re: I-spy an Ugly SUV
That thing is revolting in the extreme... It looks all wrong and out of proportion somehow... Like it's morbidly obese...
It'll no doub't appeal to Chavs and inadequate posers ...
Lovely colour though... Very 70's Yamaha FS1E

Re: I-spy an Ugly SUV
There seems to be a current fashion for making cars look solid and heavy.
Maybe it's hard not to, when these tall ones are so popular, and people dont seem to care about using more fuel than something two thirds of the frontal area.
But even the small cars seem to have a milled-out-of-solid look to them.

Re: I-spy an Ugly SUV
Yes, that's true... I suppose it makes the great unwashed think they're high quality, well built, reliable and robust...
I just think it makes them look tubby - a bit like a sumo wrestler...
I like mine slim and trim...

Presumably it'll be invisible to speed cameras and radar traps then ?

If you can afford the price tag you probably don't need to worry about the fines.

Re: I-spy an Ugly SUV
Wasn't the Canyonero a car that featured in a Simpsons episode?
I believe it had a very messy ending

The Simpsons Canyonero made it to this thread here
This post has one of my favourite clips from the Simpsons re SUV's and what happens when they approach a gentle curve in the road
