Let me start by saying that I'm not a big SUV fan. We're about to buy ourselves one though and after many mental dialogues between my two 'sides' I can justify it because we're going to need 4WD to go to some camping joints we go to, we need a bit of weight for what we sometimes tow AND we need 7 seats because Bec regularly has both kids and some of their friends to drive around. Ie, it will be used. Porsche SUV's look a little nice but kinda weird me out. Mercedes and BMW SUV's seem to be a status thing most of the time. I'd assume that they rarely get taken off road or tested in any way. Then, theres the $700k Bentley Bentayga. I saw one in traffic the other day, she's not a pretty thing thats for sure. Today I thought I'd look it up. $700k. SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS! AND, according to CarsGuide you can opt for a $225k CLOCK! How can a car that big only have 6 airbags? Is it just me that thinks this car is an obscene two-fingered salute to anybody who has a 'normal' family car? Buy it here.

The Drive COTY has been revealed. The winner is the Ford Everest Trend. The finalists can be seen here. Considering this Ford was up against some serious competition (as can be seen here; http://www.drive.com.au/car-reviews/car-of-the-year)it seems a little odd that it was the winner. For instance, look at the previous winners; 2006 - Audi TT 2007 - BMW M3 2008 - Honda Accord V6 2009 - Volkswagen Golf 118TSI 2010 - Volkswagen Polo 77TSI 2011 - Mercedes-Benz C250 CDI 2012 – Toyota 86 GT 2013 - Mazda6 Sport 2014 - Mercedes-Benz C200 There are some really good cars in that list. What do you think of the Drive COTY award? Is it a fair competition or simply up to the highest bidder?
