GRIME ARTISTS

摘要

Modern life is filthy. Not in the adverts, of course - there, the kitchen work surfaces gleam, and your hair always looks like you've just stepped out of the salon. Similarly, there's never been a car advert that showed ancient apple cores rolling out from under the back seats, what mucky football kit actually does to a boot carpet or what happens if, having just waded back to a Discovery Sport through thick sludge, you climb in and thoughtlessly, vigorously, knock your boots together... Family cars have it tough. And we expect a lot of them: seven seats, phone connectivity, a big boot, relaxed road manners, comprehensive infotainment, low ownership costs. The last thing we probably expect is for them to be good off-road. So we tested that and, predictably, the Land Rover was best: smoother to drive, more cushioned and reassuring. "I've got this," it seems to say, and you find yourself trusting it.
