Calling a mid sized European car "a very large car in Europe" is weird, it's literally the middle of the three cars they offer (the bigger being the 90, which is fairly common, tho they have hatchecks too). It's basically BMW5 or Mercedes E.

(Btw, bottom left, there is another V70.)

The image is still def disgusting, I support a direct ban on these pickup things, they are sold to ego-hungry folk to make then feel bigger.
Vans are much better & basically without downsides.
They even drive better.

Oh, and extra regulation on angles of the bonnet in regards to height please.

The XC90 is 10cm longer and the same width. Hardly any bigger. It just looks that way because it is built to topple and cartwheel better

I didn't say XC90/SUV.

The V90 is a further 13cm longer than XC90 & is V70 shaped (that's why the comparison).
