Its why they also have a larger turning circle than the sedans as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about that family you have trapped under the hardlid?Weighbridge not calibrated for ages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that to a sedan that has a full roof and floor and side panels that tie it all together. Just chassis rails that are pretty weak by themselves..
