These tiny vehicles s/b classed separately form the CUV/SUV class.  The utility part of the equation simply isn't there, imo.  And the swoopy styling just doesn't fit on such small vehicles.

"_UV" is a fashion statement over a quotient of functionality.  Accept the change.

Isn't this review supposed to be a "long-term update" of a car at 8,957 km?; instead, it is an overview of a new car. Haven't we already seen that (and do we really need someone to tell us how it looks)?

Fair point, well made.
I think you'll enjoy update No.5.
