It won't have SUV proportions (big wheels in relation to the body), rather it will most likely have AUV proportions (small wheels in relation to body - example: the MVPMAP PHUV). The PHUV will have a ladder frame, making it tall. With these limitations in mind, now try to come up with a beautiful design or at least one that won't be the target of Tsikoteers' derision.
