There are reasons why vehicles designed for the Army are not available to civilians....
Don't we know that people who don't hesitate to be on the other side of the law -- underworld and politicians alike -- do use Mitsubishi Pajeros, Toyota Land Cruisers, Prados, Honda Valkyries, Suzuki Hayabusas, AK-47/56s, nitramines and other serious law-hijacking tools, as and when needed.

What is the harm if safe controlable SUVs are available?


Haven't we played enough with barely controllable ones -- with poor brakes, poor steering and unsafe suspension -- like the Scorpio CRDe.
