That is why I said "price range and type".  I'm sure they outrun a luxury car, a Lexus or something, but compare a BMW X sedan vs SUV in the same price range.

Most SUVs I see around town are glorified station wagons that sit higher up and get poor fuel economy.  If you drive one like you would a minivan, just get a minivan.

Lots of historical love between Russia and Ukraine.  In 1932-33 Stalin intentionally created a famine in Ukraine where 5 million starved to death. The rather impressive body count was only outdone by Hitler in Ukraine in coming years.

My guess is a fair number in Ukraine view themselves as Russians, particularly in the border areas.

Well your right about “ most SUVs”

have you owned or driven an SUV that can run a sub 3.5 0-60, a sub 12 second 1/4 mile, or pull .97 Gs on the skid pad? 

If not- you should give it a whirl.  Will blow your mind what a high performance SUV is capable of- while still being a family hauler, grocery getter or cross country travel machine.  It’s not like the old days.

Got a friend who is Ukranian and the GPs came over back in the day and they ran a meat/butcher shop.If you've never had twice smoked Kovbasa I think it is,get it - cloges the arteries up while you're eating it but soooo good. Buddy's family would take turns with you for making statements like that

There are a lot more who are tired of being slaughtered by Russians, so my guess is that Ukraine will strive to maintain its independence regardless of whether or not we feel they deserve to do so.

"Most SUVs" aren't even SUVs. 

They're tall cars. Or, "crossovers", in the current lexicon.

True. But we are not talking about the 98% of SUVs.

We are talking about this:


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ANbhV6j05ys

A car I own( mine has an additional 100+ HP).  I hauled myself and 3 buds around, and 4 sets of clubs in it comfortably 2 weekends ago. But it can do this ( video).  Few cars, that are not in the “ exotic/ outrageous price” category can even come close. These are true, high performance SUVs   

In fact- they are far more capable then most drivers can come close to handling.

Where do I find something like this for the GLE 63? That's what we are honed in on.

Here you go.  Badass car!!!  Not sure if your going for AMG edition. 

Nobody in their right mind will call you a overhyped minivan lol. I drove this car and it is so sick!
