    The worst crossover I saw is the Ford Ecosport. It is basically a Ford Fiesta with higher suspension. It has nothing to do with a SUV, it is small, has 0 towing capacity, is 3000lbs, has a 3 cylinders engine, cost 30’000$ (in canada). The most useless and expensive thing. A Fiesta was half the price for essentially the same frame/car.

      Honestly? I kind of liked the concept of it. I always thought it looked hideous (I mean, it IS a Ford…) but the size and height seemed good.

      Also, I think that was mostly geared toward non-US markets where having the extra seats and the like are good but people don’t want to drive a hotel room on wheels.

      That actually sounds pretty good to me. If the rear seats go down so I can put bigger stuff in the back, that’s a huge advantage over the weird trunk angles you have to work with in a sedan. I don’t need to tow anything, but a slightly higher ride is useful when I’m going out in the woods and need to clear rocks in the middle of the unmaintained road.

      Except the price. That’s unnecessary.
