These people would never consider going on to grass let alone dirt in their car. Want something that drives like a car but looks like a an urban 4x4. Jaguar is after this market leaving the 4x4 off road range to Land Rover..

Spot on!

Or perhaps their Designers are getting older, and like us their knees aren't what they used to be... So a taller vehicle is easier to get in and out of when your knees and hips are two steps away from a 'replacement'...

It's about the only thing that keeps The Lady Sarah living in my carport...:eek:

Not by any means the only reason I have a 4WD, but certainly one of what I see as the good points of the vehicle. I find it much easier to enter and exit the Disco than a conventional vehicle, even SWMBO's Camry. ;)

And when it comes to getting into and out of my young bloke's Mazda RX7 - well I can manage to FALL into it without too much difficulty - but getting out of it in front of an audience is just plain bloody embarrassing. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...015/09/285.jpg
