[on the Rover Streetwise]
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.

[consulting press release] They are saying that: it has got a split folding rear seat...
Like a car.
Yeah. It's available with a selection of petrol and diesel power units...
Well, that is clever.
Like a car.
Yeah, yeah.
... various transmissions, three trim levels...
Car-like.
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."
They've put some thought into this, haven't they?

It's a car.
It's a car. "At the same time it offers good all-round performance and capability out of town, from motorways to farm tracks!"
[impressed] So you can drive out of town as well!
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?
