  1. I love the design because of my age, not because it is an off-road vehicle. Automakers will soon come to realize they must start designing cars for the ever increasing older population. Two things will be crucial, first, the car must not be too low to get in and out of, second, doors must open as wide as possible to allow ease of access. This vehicle is perfect for the elderly.
