My view on SUV's was forever changed by the Porsche Macan GTS
In the hands of an ex-Stig.
Milford Proving Ground's Alpine Test Track (the one they flipped the Aston for Casino Royale)
Jesus Christ! The speed, handling, I didn't have just one, it was an almost constant brown trouser moment!
I suppose it was in the hands of a racing driver.
But flipping heck, it was good. It wasn't rolling all over the place, it was mighty quick, great brakes etc.
This was also with 4 adults in it.
I've got nothing against SUVs per se and in fact have owned plenty of 4WD wagons over the years - primarily out of a need to tow horses - and they make a lot of sense. Elevated driving position, plenty of room, great ride on crappy UK roads and the security of 4WD.
BUT fast SUVs make absolutely no sense to me. You can put lipstick on a pig etc etc.
(The Macan GTS is very impressive though.)
