I do think it funny they call it an FUV.
Definitely a F......g ugly vehicle!

What is the point of these SUV coupes?
All the drawbacks of an SUV frontal area, weight, higher CoG with none of the benefits of carrying capacity or practicality.
The BMW X6 is another example. Huge outside but tiny inside and not very practical at all.

Why are cars continuing to get uglier and less practical?
Why are there no graceful cars made anymore?

The 203 class was, to my mind, the last really graceful Merc.

Other than Range Rovers I have not come across a single SUV I would own.
Ferrari need to do this (apparently) to make money. Despite being a keen fan of Italian cars I'd never consider one if I could afford it.
I still think this Autocar picture is artits (deliberate) impression/render anyway. We still do not know how ugly it will be, I mean look at Lamborghini's Anus for an idea. :D:p

Only SUV i have ever owned was a Subaru Forester s turbo from 2004-2009 and it was a great car. Never had a single problem in 5 years and 50000 miles.

An Impreza turbo on stilts!

Looked it up on mot history.gov and it was scrapped at 12 years old due to structural rust, and they talk about w210's rusting!
