The Suburban and Excursion are by far the most pointless viechles out when you consider that a Second gen Pajrto/Montero/Shogun do everything better for far less cost- AND don't take up 3 or 4 lanes when useed on the road
what i'm saying though, is that Porsches and bimmer's aren't typically used as utility vehicles like a suburban or excursion are meant to be, they're more like status symbols. if i were helping a friend move i wouldn't be bringing the x5 or cayenne
and the montero got one of the worst safety ratings ever for an suv cuz it flipped over taking a 90 degree turn at 37.5 mph in testing. i think that was in 2000 and it's probably a resolved issue by now but just the fact that they let it go out to the public like that before fixing the problem steered me away from mitsubishi's truck
