I can totally understand where you come from but what is the point?

It wont go off road at all and it wont carry anymore people or luggage than the 2 cars i talked about. It has to therefore be compared to normal cars, no brownie points for higher ride height if it isn't of any use.

The idea of badging it an complete M and making it handle and brake worse than middle of the road Japanese sedans that cost significantly less than half the price is mind boggling.
