From the article:

The article mentions "SUV-ization" of the bycicle.

the difference is that's objectively cool whereas there's nothing cool about an SUV

What makes you think the reasons you think this is cool is different from the reasons why other people find SUV cool? This article mentions the similarities.

Just add 2 more wheels and a big bumper front and back, maybe a passenger seat or two and a trailer behind it, enclose it in a weatherproofing shell then it'd be cooler.
