    But van comercial vehicles have to have dividing screen (factory installed) to prevent cargo from smashing in front row in case of crash.
    So every year you have to install that screen to register your vehicle, and if the cops stop you, they could seize your vehicle, because in EU this is considered illegal mod.

      I reckon there are plenty.
      Aside from how tacky it looks, what purpose does it serve other than as a status symbol??
      Performance?? There are better out there, not just in terms of pure power, but also handling. Audi RSQ8 for example.
      Luxury, nothing about the bright red tacky look of that cabin said luxury to me. If I want luxury I'm buying a straight up Range Rover.
      As I say in another comment, I am not the target market for those cars, but to say that there is not a man alive who wouldn't want one??? Beyond ridiculous because they are appealing to a very specific, very shallow and superficial, client.

You probably can't get a post-2018 SVR for the same money with the taxes and that's insane for a brand new V8.
