Not to mention you can't put a roof rack on a car with gullwing doors. This is an SUV that can't have a roof rack and is therefore not useful to a large portion of the people who buy SUV's.
- briffle 13y agoYou think a large portion of the people that buy SUV's use them for anything besides driving to work and the grocery store and home?
- sukuriant 13y agoA large? maybe. The majority? Most likely not.
- Amadou 13y agoOnly 15% of SUV owners ever go off-roading. http://4wheeldrive.about.com/od/offroad4x4atv4wd/a/offroadstats.htm http://4wheeldrive.about.com/od/offroad4x4atv4wd/a/offroadst... If you think about it, any 2-wheel drive SUV isn't even suitable for off-roading.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoBut going off road is not even what we're talking about. We're talking about putting a lot more stuff in or on top of the vehicle. More than you would with a sedan. I have no problems with people who buy a Sport Utility Vehicle and never go off road. Having the Falcon Wings reduce the options for a roof rack is a valid concern that has nothing to do with going off road.
- sukuriant 13y agoIn the states, especially in places that aren't Colorado or Washington, I didn't often see SUVs with racks on the top. Maybe it's just a northern thing...
- dsuth 13y agoWe have a 4WD (what Aussies call SUVs) with a roof rack, and have never taken it off road. We use it for skis, surfboards, extra luggage (family of 4). Roof racks are an extremely useful addition to a car, for a family.
- pilom 13y agoI know Colorado is a weird state but here, yes, a very large portion (absolutely a majority) of people that buy SUV's use them to take their families and their skis or their bikes or their kayaks up to the mountains.
