Although I have owned SUVs, and understand how useful they can be, the
reason we have very expensive "luxury SUVs" escapes me. If you have $60+K to
spend on vehicles, wouldn't you be better off buying a comfortable luxury
sedan for your everyday driving, and a cheap mini-van, full size van, or
pick-up to handle the things an SUV does well? Or even buy a used pedestrian
SUV to go along with your luxury sedan. I just can't picture driving an
R-Class SUV on to the beach to go surf fishing, or through a muddy trail in
the woods. But I suppose if you have enough money to afford and fuel the
R-Class, you don't really have to care about a few scratches.
