I dunno about Ireland. I live there and I don’t really see people drive that many SUVs.

The number one selling car in Ireland has been the Tucson for the last number of years.

It used to be mondeos, S90s, corollas now it’s Kugas, Tucsons, Sorrentos, XC40s, and RAV4s.

Not to mention the absolute loser in Ford Rangers and Raptors. I can see the use in the SUVs but the Hilux and Raptors are such small dick energy. Lads in construction that don’t do work.

As an American, Tucsons and Rav4 are the small SUVs. Just wait until you have people that barely know how to drive riding around in Suburbans and Sequoias

They are most likely not road legal here assuming they are bigger than these small SUVs. Definitely not fit for anything more than national roads.

Another American. Those are small SUVs. Compare those to a Suburban, Tahoe or the like.
