A G will climb (and descend) a 45 deg slope. What other off-roader will do better than that?

Which I guess was useful for the original military customers, but probably has slightly less day to day relevance for the dickheads that now buy them.

A muddy slope? No it won't. In any case it's irrelevant because these machines are not built to go off road. Out here in the countryside you generally see them being driven down the middle of the road because their precious paintwork can't be allowed to come into contact with leaves or, god forbid, a puddle.

There are plenty of reasons not to buy a G, the price for a start, but slagging them off for insufficient off-road ability is just ignorant.

Far from me to defend SUVs- I hate the things and would never own one- but that claim seems unlikely to me. Americans have always driven absurdly large gas guzzlers; it is not a recent trend, and even if a few of the richest ones might have upgraded to increasingly absurdly large models, your average Joe is still likely to be driving similarly sized pickup trucks as those from the last few decades. And even in America, new cars are undeniably less polluting than they were decades ago.
And whereas it’s undeniable SUVs have become far more popular in Europe over the last 15 years or so, most European SUVs are far smaller than what Americans would describe as an SUV. Indeed, the majority of vehicles described as SUVs in this country are no more polluting than many bog-standard hatchbacks manufactured a mere decade ago.
I almost feel dirty making this point as I really don’t like SUVs, and the other points made in the Guardan article regarding increased risk to pedestrians etc are all very valid points. Just pointing out that their somehow and quite suddenly causing a dramatic spike in worldwide pollution levels seems rather puzzling …
It’s because SUVs have taken over from other forms of vehicle. So there is a big increase in emissions from SUVs, but there is a corresponding decrease from other vehicles.
Again, this is not a defence of SUVs. I’m just pointing out that you can’t look at SUV data in isolation.

yeah exactly
the article says for example that Ford have stopped making any "compact" cars in the US - its all SUVs and equivalent
its probably a bit of a selective stat theyve gone with but nonetheless its fucking obscene

Stayed at a posh hotel in the South Downs between Xmas and New Year, ours was pretty much the only car in the car park that wasn't an SUV; nearly every car was a Bentayga, Cayenne, M Class or Q7. was quite strange tbf.

It’s a bit like claiming that, shockingly, people born since 1970 are now responsible for the majority of CO2 emissions and that the share caused by boomers is reducing every year. Well done boomers and fuck those young people.
But his daddy was a Guardian journo too, so I’m sure he was appointed to write articles in the Guardian purely because he is a worthwhile journalist.

Throw in some toys, an engine with some actual bollocks, right hand drive obvs and you have yourself a tidy fucking motor there...
Perfect for pottering around the Cotswolds.
