well, it's about the size i'd want, even though i have no need for a 3rd row of seats.
When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

For me, too. Perfect size. But I would stay away from it as far as I could, at least for the first 3 years, even when leasing. And then I would throw away my 10-foot MB touching pole.
The competition is fierce, and there are tons of products that won't have to spend as much time in the shop and draining family budget.

yea, could likely get a loaded up Kia Seltos for less money and actually keep it on the road.  ;)

A fake SUV, not even a crossover - a whole 5.7 inches of ground clearance (144mm),  less than a Mazda6. It's a wagon, but we must delude ourselves otherwise into saying SUV, while overlooking the obvious. The dash is a nightmare and the steering wheel, door card pulls and hang on bar for the front passenger a tribute to early oughties silver, silver everywhere plastic Samsung $109.95 "music centres". What a load of expensive tripe!

That '69 Bullitt 390 Mustang had over 7 inches of ground clearance as cars tended to in those days what with solid rear axles, Google images '68 Mustang Bullit and see what I mean.

Mercedes reinvents the term SUV for a lowrider wagon with a top hat and Coupe for a four door sedan. Faux from beginning to end in my view.
