The "All Road"?

Well, now.  Let me see.  Would I want to subject my budget to an expensive
German automobile that had a computer controlled hydraulic suspension system
that would enable the car to rise up four inches?

Sort of reminds me of the French version, the ubiqutous Citroen DS19, aka
"the Angry Clam"....suppose the Germans have got it better than they did?
Suppose the German version would actually WORK?  That is to say, actually
work with 65,000 miles on the car and the system?

Nope.  I don't think I'd chance it.  If I need to go off road, I'll take the
truck.  Old GM technology that at least generally works, and doesn't require
a lot of huff and puff to get ground clearance!

Happy New Year!
