As far as sub-compact SUVs go this one is relatively pleasant looking though, seems to have a lot of leg room at the back, and even though it is basic transportation, can be had with things like a leather covered dash, and full LED headlights.

I am loosing track about how all of these SUVs are positioned though, at least with something like Q2,Q3,Q4,Q5, one had a somewhat good idea.

Haha, that is exactly how my brain reacts when I hear about their cars. :lol:
(I don't mean it in a derogatory way FWIW, basically Pontiac = Sporty Chevy, Seat = Sporty VW in my mind).

Interesting lines. Not as offensive looking as most.
