These target numbers can be reached, but American soccer moms will not buy the products. They will weigh less than half what the current SUVs weigh with tiny engines, possibly diesel. Accel times 0 to 60 in an afternoon.

These SUV-lights will do well in crash tests against similar sized vehicles, but will crumple like a tin can when they hit heavier vehicles.

All in all, think softly sprung, overgrown Citrions.

Back in the 50’s a Rambler (American Motors) dealer, after having to endure comments on how dangerous his small cars were in a collision, did a demo at the local rodeo where Cadillacs were pitted against Semis. Guess who won.

There is always a bigger egg.
