As the US Big 3 auto manufacturers face bankruptcy, we must go back to the old-time basics.

Drivers will soon need to embrace the original SUV.

My bike: 140mph
Original SUV: 35mph?

My bike: 0-60 in 3.76 seconds
Original SUV: What's 60?

My bike: Stays in the garage without problems
Original SUV: Would have to live in the back garden covering the place with it's own 'personal feel'

My bike: Does what I say
Original SUV: Does what it wants

My bike: Races past cars with a blip of the throttle
Original SUV: Throws you off and kicks you each time a car blips the accelerator

My bike: Has brakes
Original SUV: ???

My bike: Too useful for words
Original SUV: Takes too much pastry to make any use of it.

A lot of false advertising their. Among other things, the 'eco-friendly' exhaust system is a major source of methane, it is NOT environmentally friendly. Also the voice command system needs a lot of training. It is about the worst one i've seen.

We've got one of them. But his predecessor was voice trained, this one wants physical cues.
I want a blond Belgium draft and a little driving cart, now that would be way cool.

I like horseback riding, but have to admit it isn't currently feasible as actual transportation for the most part. Anyway, here is a similar cartoon that I like:

I think those two together would make a great before/after set.
