Top Gear · Season 2, Episode 9

Jeremy, Richard and others in “July 13th, 2003”

[on the Rover Streetwise]

Jeremy

They're saying it's an "urban on-roader". If we analyze that, an "urban on-roader" is a car designed to go on the road in town. So... it's a car. Isn't it.

Richard

Essentially, yes.

[...]

Jeremy

[consulting press release] They are saying that: it has got a split folding rear seat...

James

Like a car.

Jeremy

Yeah. It's available with a selection of petrol and diesel power units...

Richard

Well, that is clever.

James

Like a car.

Richard

Yeah, yeah.

Jeremy

... various transmissions, three trim levels...

James

Car-like.

Jeremy

Yup, very car-like... "It's fun to drive, handy in traffic, easy to park and and able to shrug off hard use by active individuals and young families."

Richard

They've put some thought into this, haven't they?

Jeremy

"Has elements of the SUV appeal," no it doesn't, it's not four-wheel-drive, "with good ground clearance and ruggedness but without the cost and complexity of 4x4 transmission."

James

It's a car.

Jeremy

It's a car. "At the same time it offers good all-round performance and capability out of town, from motorways to farm tracks!"

Richard

[impressed] So you can drive out of town as well!

Jeremy

It's not just an urban on-roader, it's a motorway on-roader as well! And it can do farm tracks, but nothing too difficult, OK?
