Unpopular Opinion (NO POLITICS / NO RELIGION)

The Urus is not cool. I see them so frequently in a 10 mile radius from where I live. There are two in my neighborhood alone, and trust me, nobody in my neighborhood should own one. So two questions come up, why are they so common and how do people afford them? They aren’t that amazing looking anyway.

I don’t think I have ever seen one in real life. I guess I live on the poor side of the tracks. LOL. I confess I do like the look but the sticker shock is real.

I don't get the pt of really expensive SUVs (or whatever the heck they call them nowadays). They are supposed to get bashed around, conquering snow storms, look 'better' w mud on them just like in some Jeep commercial. If I had a Lambo SUV I'd be worried about denting or getting a wee scratch on it lol.

What do you do in winter? In a perfect world, I would drive a M6 or M8. Except it snows here (as it does where you are). My X6M is the best of both worlds ; it drives like a sports car but can be a daily driver in winter with the AWD and ground clearance. Otherwise I would need two vehicles. The Urus is double the price of my current ride though.

The Z4 is my only car, it does great in winter, although this winter has been a 'banner' year, got stuck like 3 or 4 times already while ironically it hasn't snowed as much: but it's only because my car's low and I get beach-whaled; the traction is great. I usually don't get stuck at all any winter.

Go for your M6 or M8, yolo baby!

I think SUVs are great from a luxury standpoint especially if you have a 2nd car to handle the sporty driving. I don't know what you consider "expensive", but in my mind the top tier luxury SUVs (X7, GLS, Range, etc - not counting the bentayga/cullinan) are amazing at being comfortable and luxurious without being total duds to drive. Personally I wouldn't get an SUV if I was single, but with a family they're amazing.

I get it, for sure I'm not saying one has to sit in a bare crate because they bought a SUV, but I guess to me the image of a SUV is something like a Bronco that one can trash around, and definitely not, say, your aforementioned Bentayga where they wouldn't take it offroading. Maybe I'm just prejudiced against certain brands haha.

Ya, sportscars only for me, although we wanna eventually get a 4-wheeler someday, getting stuck in the snow isn't fun (my car actually does well in winter but the ground clearance is its Achilles' heel).

Yeah if you get down to the literal terms... "sports utility vehicle"... they should really separate the terms SUV (something that can do some true off-roading and can be thrashed around) from a crossover (just a car on stilts with extra space

The Last of Us is good, but to say it’s one of HBO’s GOAT shows? C’Mon man.
