Looks as mean as, but about as useful as a case of herpes.

Perfect? for what exactly? yes it WOULD be perfect for African dictators/ south american drug lords, but should any company really be building anything for these scum? What else would it be perfect for? What else can it do that an armored S Class can't do. It definitely will not be able to out manoeuvre too much weighing that much. As for driving it through a (non North American) city or town, it would be easier to drive a large rigid truck.

As for your comment earlier about 3 door hatchbacks being unpractical, that is a very close minded and frankly, stupid, comment. A single person (male or female) who spends 90% of their time in city's and inner suburbs, and doesn't use a vehicle for work needs nothing more than a small 3 door hatchback, and in that case, a 3 door hatch is very practical.

Come on! This forum would get pretty boring if we all had "sensible" opinions regarding cars, that we are supposedly passionate about. I like it because it is cool. It's the same reason why I like Corvettes, Ferraris, Lambos, GTs etc. And that is the only explanation I really need to give.
Did you notice I did say "my definition" of practicality, not some guy or girl who lives on their own in an apartment down a narrow lane, with the parking space barely big enough to fit a Smart ForTwo. But even then, in a Knight XV, if you are going down a narrow street, I am sure people will move out of their way for you. :-) And that's something you won't get in a Fiesta! And if there still isn't enough room, you can always drive over or through anything you want. See, it's not that impractical after all.
