Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn't be legal in europe. That thing doesn't even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The ~~Golf~~ Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.
EDIT: It's a Polo and not a Golf, I don't know my cars, sorry for that!
Polo but yeah. The size difference is crazy. Who actually needs such a vehicle?
People that need to haul heavy stuff, wearing dirty boots probably. And I bet some of these are driven by those, but the vast majority is just used to boost the egos of people with some sort of complex.
People that need to actually haul heavy stuff just get vans. And dirty boots have absolutely nothing to do with what car you're driving.
Pickups can tow massive weights vans can't. I knew a guy that used one to tow a massive trailer for cattle, and that was the one usage that this thing really excels. No way a can could have done that in the dirt roads he was driving.
Anyone who tows. Or does a lot of work on their home. Mine gets used usually once a month during the warm months.
