I find this concept rather intriguing from a functionality standpoint.  I’m not a fan of SUVs or crossovers; however, some of the roads between homes leaves much to be desired especially during the current freeze-thaw cycles and this concept is perfect for those trips.  A couple of years ago one of the roads I use was literally removed by the neighboring county.  All the tarmac was peeled away and replaced about ten months later.  I’m still finding mud from road in crevices of the R8.
