I vaguely recall when the first one opened in Augusta when I was a kid, a 1961 D penny got you a burger.

They might serve well over a million now per day.

Yeah with ~39,000 locations worldwide, they'd only need to serve 26 customers per location to reach 1,000,000 in a day.

When Alexander the Great died, his empire was divided up by his generals. Ptolemy claimed Egypt and began building a monumental lighthouse at the entrance to Alexandria’s harbor. The structure was completed by his son Ptolemy II circa 250 B.C. It stood more than 100 meters tall. At night, a fire burning atop the tower was visible to ships far out at sea. A mirror guided vessels during the day. Although not built by Romans, it served as an inspiration for Roman mariners and rulers for centuries. The Pharos of Alexandria was repeatedly damaged by earthquakes until the last remains collapsed in A.D. 1480. [color=var(--blue-link)]www.chi-rhogroup.com[/url][/font][/size][/color] 

Stalin & Hitler within what 10 miles or less of each other? Talk about a portal to hell

I don't think an SUV will outperform a car in its price range and type.  The performance SUVs are indeed remarkable, and expensive.  I imagine the vast majority if SUV owners never go off road, never tow anything, and drive it like their Aunt Fannie drove a 1965 Chevy wagon.

These tests, for me, are fun to read about, but few owners track their cars or are able to drive them at 9/10ths.

If you read the article and looked at the times, you will see that the performance SUVs DO outperform most cars in their price range. 

for example- an X3M will substantially outperform most cars in that price range.  Just not performance cars- but most aren’t performance cars.

yes a lot of people that buy them don’t take them off road but that’s not why they bought them. they bought them because they want to be able to take large cargo, like golf clubs, dogs, family yet not sacrifice incredible speed and cornering. And many of the owners do take them to both the road track and the dragstrip. I am on forums with many of these owners and it is very common.  And they also tow with them. My Audi SUV can tow my 25 foot boat with ease and I do move it using my Audi. 

because SUVs have become by far the most popular segment, many of the car makers have focused the majority of their R&D on them. Again, if you look at the 0 to 60 times, the quarter-mile times, and the track times at places like VIOR, as well as the G forces these cars can achieve you will see that the modern high performance SUVs are doing incredible things and are way better on the track than 95% of the cars out there.
