Spotted this combo in the hotel car park last night.
I see that gold mustang cruising around Kensington now and then with four twenty-something chaps in it, reminds me of the Jeep scene in Zoolander

Kensington as in London?
I forget there are UAE plated cars all over the place in London...
Usually hypercars though!

Yep, Kensington as in London.There aren't many Arabic cars around this year due to the 'rona but years prior every third car was on Arab plates in that area. Harrods innit.
Might have been a different Mustang, but certainly that colour which is what stood out as well as the Arab plates.

I thought it used to stand for sub urban vehicle?
Naw. Some manufacturers used to use it to mean "suburban utility vehicle" but US marques only I think. For the most part it has always meant sports utility vehicle.

Juke isn’t big.
Next.

The discovery sport isn't a sporty version of a discovery like you seem to think, its a different model and obviously massively comfortable as the huge wheels also have huge tyres. Its not a Audi S line. Whats sport mean in a Suzuki Swift Sport. Loads of silly names out there, Mondeo Titanium X, Clio extreme, Focus ST (Sport T)
What about a Lotus Elise Sport? What does sport mean versus a normal Elise?

The Elise and Swift are the same; both are more sport orientated versions of the standard car. Obviously the elise is at a much more extreme end of the scale but they are both mechanically modified to have better performance. The Swift by all accounts is a very good warm hatch.
The Swift has good handling and it doesn't take much to make it "sporty". A SUV will always be a barge, so why make it less comfortable and more compromised.
The Elise is something entirely different. It's a racing car adapted to the road. It's never going to be all that comfortable so why bother trying. Same principal in reverse.

What’s made it less comfortable exactly and less comfortable than what ? In the context of this SUV the sport is not a variant but the actual model.
Ever tried an e.g. Audi "S-lines". The ride is pretty poor for what should be a luxury car. Yet the standard one is ok. What's the point in the S-line when it isn't really a performance car? All they have done is stick a bodykit on it, big alloys and make the ride less comfortable.
Either go luxury, or go for a proper sports/performance car where the hard suspension the trade-off for much more power.

Still getting trim and models mixed up...
A different brand may offer a more tuned dynamic handling set of attributes with reasonable steering response, lateral control and a degree of comfort beyond rubber band tyres and rock hard springs-however as they spend the money saved on nice dashboards they some how becomes the de facto idea of how a chassis is tuned for the sports variants.
Again a variety of a model. Not the name of the model.

Maybe they are just on their way out for an ORANGE MOCHA FRAPUCHINO.
We aren’t talking about this here though.
100%. I also hate them, possibly irrationally. The name is definitely part of what forged that hatred.
Jacked up Fiestas with a spare wheel on the back and a moronic name.
