Default Spyker SUV

Spyker is planning to build an SUV they've lend €4 miljon to use for building a SUV prototype if all goes well the car will be presented in the autosalon of Geneva 2006.

A couple of weeks ago the original designer (Maarten de Bruijn) of the Spyker quit and i think that building a SUV has got something to do with it.



I don't like the idea and wonder how it will look like .

Your're right about that but i didn't expect that they would build an SUV. And i don't think it's very logical as a small exclusive sport car manufactor to build a SUV.
SUV's are cheaper and more practical as supercars so more people would buy it. But Spyker has got a very small dealer network and a lot of more practical problems to launch and sell an SUV. So it doesn't really make sense to me.

Quite right!

The spyker fits the film as well, especially with that porn flick-esque 1920's brothel interior.

Imagine that interior in something the size of a Range Rover? Damn. Talk about the pimpin' your ride.
