Well, I agree you are taking a step in the right direction. They probably will not want to cut you up, but you will always get someone who does. I reckon a tank or a monster truck is the better option. That way, when they inevitably do cut you up, you just drive over the top of them. That HAS to be satisfying

I have to say that I can't help finding vehicles of that size being used as private transport pretty irritating, especially when you see one person in it and when its used for shopping in a small town using up a lot of parking space, or on the school run for one child!
Always seems to me a type of "look at me" machine!

You're not going to outrun your attackers though....
440bhp & 5.5 tonnes = 72bhp / tonne. That's about the same as my wife's glacially slow 1.4 litre Fiat Grande Punto.
Even the "hot" turbocharged model at 550bhp = 100bhp / tonne. That's the same as my old standard single carb 1972 BMW 2002. That'd have it in the twisties too!

What does this bit mean?
"...every version comes with bodywork and glass that can withstand gunshots for 24 hours."
How does the bodywork know when the 24 hours are up? Surely the intensity of the gunshots is more important: 24 hours non-stop machine-gun fire would be more impressive than withstanding 1 shot today but not a second shot tomorrow!
