India, Jan. 18 -- So you want to buy a luxury Sports Utility Vehicle? It might never go off-road in its life. Heck, it might never leave metaled roads all its life but you like the commanding seating position high off the ground even if that involves a clumsy climb into your seat. And you also think that it is safer, at least when you have an accident where some idiot in a two-wheeler runs into you. You could ignore the fact that these cars are big and heavy, usually not the most economical but you know what, at least they do drive a lot better than they used to.

If you remember early SUVs, where a company suddenly had an idea to put plusher seats into an off-roader and make them less capable at the same time, they were not quite stable ...
