Don't you love it?

Pay more than a BMW SUV, but you get no value for it. Great marketing, hey?

I can't see past how dumb the concept is. But I don't know much or anything about the market dynamics they are going after with this one.

No problemo. It is definitely a weird concept but I dig it. It has just about the same utility as a Range Rover Sport. The reason I hate driving SUV's is the feeling of tipping over everytime you turn faster than 20mph. Thats not the case with this. I would rather see someone driving this than a 3 person family rocking an 8 passenger suburban.

^ Exactly...that's all it is...a Crossover...between a sedan and an SUV. I like it.

I'm not sure if that's a 5-door hatchback or an SUV.

We just got two of them over the last weekend, and it is sharp. I saw it at the Detroit Auto Show and liked it then. I guess I need to go drive it now.

The concept is definitely funky, but someone made a good point earlier - the people who buy it don't care!
