Spent 10 minutes driving one of these at Goodwood on Saturday.
Impressions, It wasn't as big once inside it and was well capable of what was thrown at it- 30 degree climbs and descents, 2/3 wheel slopes.
It was all done on the offroad course using road tyres.
Loads of room inside it and was well trimmed. I liked the interior but it was a bit dark. No pictures, you'll see one outside most schools, although not as dirty as this one was. What did surprise me was the angles it could be driven at and not roll over.

Decent enough car, but if I was looking for a £50k Audi, I'd get something that was a bit quicker.

It still looks like a sperm whale with wheels.

Having spent the past couple of weeks in America and seeing a few of these on their roads i was quite suprised at how small they looked in comparison to some of the other monsters on the roads. They certainly don't stand out like they do over here.

I've always been surprised at how small they are.
I think the initial press reports actually exaggerated how big they were.

Perhaps the length helps disguise it but to my eyes they look smaller (although longer) than a Mk2 X5 or ML.
