The Proliferation of Sensory Deprivation Hellboxes for Obese People With No Taste, or, "A Tale of Luxury Crossovers"

It seems like the news has been filled of late with announcements from luxury companies announcing their forays into the market of sporty SUV's and crossovers. In itself, this isn't a terrible thing. I really don't care if Infiniti comes out with a crossover for soccer mom's. What I do care about is the sudden rise in "performance" SUV's from companies like Porsche, Lamborghini, and Bentley. It seems just fundamentally wrong that Lamborghini, a company that made its name producing cars that literally scream "EVIL" at you is now producing a "Luxury Performance Ute." This feels like a betrayal.

This however pales in comparison to the real problem here. These vehicles just don't make sense. They are marketed toward people with no taste, enormous egos, and too much money. Why the Hell would I ever want to travel through the Australian Outback at 180 mph? Why would I want an SUV, a vehicle that should be used for hauling large things in the outdoors, to be filled with hand sewn Italian leather and petrified wood? And don't get me started on the looks. Take this concept Bentley that was unveiled recently.

I would prefer to have many things instead of this Bentley. Making an appearance on that list are things like Polio. It's ugly on a biblical scale, and the people that design it should be made to stare at it for the rest of their natural lives as penance for their crimes. 

So there you have it. These cars are hideous, betray their companies' most loyal customers, and don't really serve any purpose. Oh, and they will all cost you in the 6-figure range.....I'll stick with my Saturn for now.
