Ugly and obscene. Not for me. Just don't see the point of these bloated SUVs.

The kind of people who buy this don’t want it hidden away in a garage. They want it on show at the front of their semi-detached new build with its arse hanging out over the pavement.
Cliche alert! Maybe they don't care what judgemental people think.

The kind of people who buy this absolutely care what people think. They want everyone to know how rich and successful they are, hence all the "bling".

Would rather have a Citroen XM, by a margin. Using the change to try to clear all of the fault warnings on the dashboard.

Need to change the subtitle to M1 surely?
This. The Citroen is far more attractive and on the awful roads round here I'd expect a better drive too. Not only that but it doesn't have the stigma of a BMW SUV. (Some SUVs are fine, FF Range Rover, Land cruiser etc)

Also I can't help thinking it will be easier to keep the French car going in 15 to 20 years, despite it already being at least 25 years older.

And nobody at Citroen asked for a picture before releasing the name?
Maybe but nobody will ever confuse them.

I think this is probably in with a pretty decent shot at being the fastest depreciating new car it's possible to throw 150 bags at? Though I doubt that prospect will do much to dissuade the target audience.

Damn! You gotta have one hell of a micro-penis to have a need to own one of these things.

Being kind I could say this expresses similar monolithic brutalism to the Rolls Royce Cullinan at one third of the price. Tremendous value!
Whereas I think the Cullinan is a terrible piece of design but like this BMW!

I'd buy this over the new range rover, if I had the money being the only caveat!! I adore Range Rovers but the new one looks like a soap carcing of the 405 that's been left in a hot bath. Lazy styling is even more inexcusable than provocative styling!!

That would be for all big cars though. SUVs are getting bigger, I mean the Ferrari SUV is massive and no need for for it.

What a dreadful cliche. Perhaps we should all own only what we need? Thus doing away with the classic car movement and any car enthusiast who owns anything that can be considered profligate by a judgemental third party? Who would be the arbitrer? The state perhaps? We could all be issued sate built cars only if we qualify, its what we need after all?

Indeed. The cliches being thrown around, the judgemental nature of people on here is absurd. "nobody needs a car like that, it's huge" etc etc is a ridiculous comment when, often, it is spouted out by people who have 2 seater sports cars that can only ever carry 2 people at once. I wonder if people in big SUVs think "what a tosser, buying a car which can't help carry other people, so selfish"? Probably not, I doubt they care as much as many on here seem to.

I think it's a pretty vile car, but the comments on here are, frankly, ridiculous, and people seem to have a bee in their bonnet because someone else might like something they don't.

This car is aimed at China male market, the average penis size is 4.3 inches. I think that speaks for itself.

There is a study that also found the link between small penis size and sportscar ownership

We found that males, and males over 30 in particular, rated sports cars as more desirable when they were made to feel that they had a small penis,"

It's fascinating that the assumption is that the only person interested in this has a penis at all. I would expect a sizeable portion of the target audience are female; most SUV owners I know are.

I'd rather spend £150k on a GT4 and the rest of the change on cocaine.
