It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

They cannot get 6L/100km. My Suzuki gets 7L/100km. The new F150 raptor R is rated at 10mpg city (18L/100km).

My wife's Suzuki Grand vitara gets 9.5L/100km no matter how you drive it. It's insane to me, but facts are facts. Raptor might be a different beast but the rest of them are all pretty well in line.

I call BS on those numbers. Real world driving conditions would pump them up. And I highly doubt the people spending 100k on these are selecting eco mode and driving like a grandma.
