The new models are definatly getting lower, but if you are the kind of person that does need to mount kerbs sometimes, you WOULD buy a territory or similar SUV.

Exactly...our G6E was a week old before it graunched on the front lower corners of the bumper and scraped once on the back leaving a normal driveway.

Style is nice...but designers have to realise that the real world isn't a glass smooth racetrack surface and that roads other than city freeways do exist...

It's not "being spastic"...it's expecting to be able to drive an Australian designed car on Australian designed roads and driveways without damaging the damn thing...
