This scene stuck out at me during Durg’s video. It felt like I had seen this before, but where?

Hmm... The heavily sloped hatch, the rather minimal -looking space, the low roof... Right! I own a car with a similar cargo scenario. How similar? Behold:

That is right, folks. A brand new Velour, err, Velar has less cargo space behind the backseats than a sportcross (22 cu. ft).

This has been your useless fact of the day.

It’ll never haul more than a bag or two from Whole Foods.

I am surprised at the lack of these in Bellevue so far.

That was exactly my takeaway.

these stupid sloped rear windows with low roofs defeat the whole point of an SUV.

The much more hideous new Discovery is pretty popular though. I think it looks like a modern Rendezvous that was left in the sun...

On that note, Doug correctly compared it to the X6 and GLE coupe: two luxury SUVs with shit utility behind the seats.

I see a rebodied Explorer. Perfect for the active stay at home set (the working ones will buy the Explorer).

Being unaware of this car until today, the first picture I saw of it, I thought it was a Suzuki Vitara.

I call that very a very useful fact. Now I know to not buy a Velar.

I saw one yesterday in Vancouver. They are actually good looking I regret to report.

Not my kind of thing. If I am throwing down money on a Range Rover, I’m going for the big boy. I’d rather have a G-Wagen though.

Dude. I have pretty much the same blanket in my cargo area:

Also my dash cam thinks I’m breaking into my own car apparently and started recording. Which reminds me I got a dash cam. I should probably make a post about that.
