The worst possible, most brainless thing to be happening here. The roads will become a killing field. One of these flew past me yesterday on my way home, doing about 20-30 over the speed limit. 3 tonnes of metal, the size was ridiculous. It'd pulverise any sane family car in a collision and all the people in it. But it's not a 'thinking of others' car, it's a 'get out of my way' arsehole kinda car. Petrol versions drink up to 20L/100km. Monkey-see, monkey-do, imitation and status, people will buy them because other people are buying them. We never leave high school now.
