a minivan's floor is closer to the ground than a station wagon, and that will come in handy for getting your alligator into the ride, especially as it gets bigger.

They're made in South American countries. I think the closest to that one you'll find in production in Brazil (and it'd likely be a green vehicle as Brazil has an ethanol requirement for all it's cars).

If you're getting that in an XC90, I think you should say fuck it, and get a Cayenne* Turbo S. Are you peeling out at every light? Look for tires that last longer, instead of providing tracking grip.
