I have no use whatsoever for a vehicle in this class. I need a heavy duty 4x4 with good cargo space for hunting and camping, a sports car for fut and a gas saving commuter that has room for at least one dog. I guess you could claim that a compact SUV can bridge all this? It'd do everything poorly though. Including saving me money.
Being on the road it looks like a lot of people think a compact SUV fits the ticket. If I was one of them, I'd certainly consider the Porsche!
