I'm still watching for the commercial, too. Maybe they took it off the market. Is that thing supposed to be a SUV? My experience with SUV's is somewhat limited, but I have driven two of them. The Toyota 4Runner drives ok, somewhat like my pickup which is also a Toyota. But the second seat is miserably uncomfortable for anyone over 5 feet 2 inches tall. It has a little too much of a top-heavy feel for me. My truck will out corner it, even with the long wheelbase. I also drove a GMC Jimmy. Even the driver's seat was cramped. the visibility was worse than the Toyota and it was even more top-heavy. It had a jerky transmission and a noisy engine. The ride was choppy on all but the smoothest streets. SUV's are known for their roll-over tendency. Why in the world would somebody buy one of those dangerous, overpriced torture chambers?
