    That's not a bad idea actually, there is a lot of confusion around what an SUV is and what a 4wd is. I think that's partly (read mostly) the media's fault too.

    Bugger, too bad I don't live in Sydney, my new car could use some spotties after the bull bar is fitted in a couple of weeks.
    Loire Blue HSE, fits the bill just right
    I'm sure Kyle and I would be thrilled to take it for a quick thrash up to Sydney.

    Has there ever been a more meaningless acronym? I always read SUV as Soft Useless Vehicle.

    The shame is people buy a soft-roader thinking it's as capable as a true 4WD.
