Why did they make such a big deal about it being PRACTICAL, not like us ecomodders, but something PRACTICAL. They said PRACTICAL about 10 times like some kind of mantra... good for every day driving.

Then they proceeded to gut the entire interior, something most people here wouldn't even do due to the noise/discomfort. And remove the air conditioning. And replace the steel doors with "for offroad use only" cf parts. Would you want to get into a side impact with a brittle door like that to your side?

Seems to me they're going about it exactly 180 degrees from practical.
