the need for these "Sport" SUVs. I can understand the need for a vehicle that is roomy, can tow, has 4wd, and can go offroad. But the sport SUVs are ridiculous to me. Who needs 450hp and high performance tires for an SUV? I saw an X5 today with high performance tires that look like they will be downright dangerous when it snows here. I can see someone taking a turn on a snowy road in one of these, accidentally hitting the accelerator a bit too hard, and harnessing all of that 450hp to crash right into a tree. Even with snow tires, 450hp is going to be hard to handle (maybe they have a "snow mode" that reduces power by 200hp?). I'm afraid to see what the Viggen is like in the snow, and it has 200hp less than this. Plus, these sport SUVs are small. The X5 is quite small (and the Porsche looks small), and I'd rather have an avant and save the 20k.
