One of the most ill conceived transportation devices of the modern age: SUV stands for ´Sports Utility Vehicle´, although it is neither sporting nor utilitarian, but a gas-guzzling monstrosity with absurd proportions. SUVs pretend to be big, bad and scary, but are mostly driven by ´soccer moms´.

Designed with a flair between Jersey shore and bad science fiction, this particular type of automotive stupidity continues to attract people with severe inferiority complexes from all walks of life. No matter that we depend on Big Oil and Middle Eastern hardliners to fuel these eyesores. As long as that SUV promises a smooth ride it´s all fine.

Manufactured in places which are themselves devoid of oil (Japan, Germany) they overcome any doubt by visually implying to conquer the adversities of whatever is out there. Total security for the driver, total annihilation of everything else. All of which is only in the mind of the driver, because these SUVs have never, ever been seen in the ghetto.
