Rolls Royce announces a $340,000 SUV

Well, some SUVs are built on truck frames. Others (often called crossovers these days) are unibody car platforms.

Very few SUVs are truck-based, nowadays, and those built by companies that don’t make pickup trucks never were.

Oh, it’s seen worse.

That’s not “taking it with you”, that’s “it’ll be there shortly after you arrive.”

Not really the case anymore. The Jeep Wrangler is about the last one of those.

a beetle that rolls crap? = dung beetle?

Yep, I had a Nissan Quest for many years which was the only minivan built on a car chassis instead of a truck chassis. It drove so much better than the others I tested. I have no idea if they still do that, but I really noticed when I tested the other minivans out there how clunky they felt.

Pretty much the first minivan, the Dodge Caravan, was based on a stretched version of the K-car platform. The use of either car platforms or dedicated minivan platforms was one of the key selling points compared to full-size vans.

That description is how I refer to my Tiguan.
