... When you go to see family during the holidays a relative asks for your opinion about a car that he is planning to buy. Actually, under the illusion that he is not yet sure and wants your opinion he actually wanted to brag about what is almost his, since he's already pretty much decided. But you give him your opinion anyway. I don't even remember exactly which SUV or crossover it was, but does it matter?

- Look at how much room it has inside!

- It looks like a barn on wheels.

- It's very safe, since the driver's position is high and gives him a good view of the road.

- It looks like it was made to roll over.

- Its wheels are alloy.

- Its wheels are too wide.

- It's got sporty aerodynamics.

- It's got terrible aerodynamics.

- It's got a 3 liter V6, so it not only gets great acceleration and a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph), but also allows you to drive very economically.

- Yeah, right. Especially at 240 km/h.

- It's got ... [starts listing all sorts of dumb luxurious options and electronic gizmos].

- It needs to lose weight.

- It's even got an amplifier in the trunk!!

- It doesn't even have wheel spats!!
