I think they are aping Porsche.
Same thing - you say Porsche you think
Not
The good news is that you don't *have* to have the boxy Lotus SUV you can still get the hypercar:

Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
I didn't know Porsche had moved into the Mr Blobby car market.
Off to the "admit your ignorance" thread with me.

Yup 'fraid so. I see lots of blobby Porsches on the school run. I still, bafflingly, see lots of Range Rovers as well. Never understood those.

Many years ago they started. Even Lambo have a horrible metal lump of an SUV.

Probably as good, or better, than the 110 TDCi
It was a good day, when my last Defender (110Td5 CSW) returned over 30MPG averages, the low gearing is a primary factor
(leaving the ...erm... aerodynamics, out of the equation)

It was good, but a few weeks ago I had an ice cream in San Sebastián, that was incredible, twice the price but three times the size.
In August I had liquorice flavoured ice cream in Helsingborg Sweden, that was also amazing.
I do like ice cream 😂
If you go to Canada, checkout Kawartha Dairy (although the portion sizes are large. That cone on the left is kids cone. The one on the right is a medium):-

I don’t like the wheels, but it still has the ‘large logo’ tailgate & ‘4WD’ (logo’d) rear mudflaps

Forgot!
Sunday AM, whilst heading to work, I saw one of those Aston-Martin 'SUVs'
What a fugly thing it is!, very remiscent of the Ford Kuga, when they updated it to look like it had the front half of a Focus welded on, like a 'cut & shut'

I have to say that I don't really get it. If I wanted an Aston Martin I'd want a DB7 or a Vanquish. If I wanted a Porsche I'd want a 911. If I wanted a Lotus I'd want an Emira or Evija.
If I wanted an SUV I'd buy one from a company that specialises in SUVs rather than paying an extra £30k or so just to have a sporty name badge.

Sadly SUVs are a triumph of marketing over common sense and the population at large have swallowed the bait. Even the wealthy tend to follow the herd.
That's but one example of money being little to do with class in either sense of the word.

I guess the thinking is "I must have an SUV, there's no question about that... but also I fancy the machismo and mystique of a porsche, and I'm willing to pay"
Obviously there are enough of those people out there for a handsome profit to be made.
