Beyond Your Dreams conjures up thoughts of joyful ecstasy.
Well that is certainly one opinion. Mine would be pretentious twaddle of the highest order!

If you were to do a study of BMW owners, how many do you reckon know (or care) what the letters stand for?. My guess would be no more than 20%.
What's with the huge silver panel spreading rearwards from the C-pillar, as if the slightest rearward vision would totally ruin the image? Something about lipstick and pigs here, methinks.
If you choose white (like most SUV owners it seems) or (especially) silver, it isn't that noticeable. Though looking at pictures, it seems there may be an option to have the panel in different contrasting colours. Which also means it may be possible to have it body coloured. As for the visibility, no idea what you are on about?. The only potential problem I see with it would be if the driver was looking over their left shoulder at an angled junction. In that case, it is no more of a problem than any and every double cab pickup with canopy (not to mention the LR Defender 110), and much less of a problem than in every (single cab) van.
Ssangyong, sorry, KGM have always specialised in spectacularly ugly cars. If they paid a designer half what they probably.just paid a 'branding guru' to change their name, I feel.like they would have achieved more success.
Actually, there's only been been the one (and that was acceptable on account of the vast interior space and low price). But just like Lancia and rust, people's memories are long!.
I believe they also reduced warranty terms from 7 to 5 years which didn't inspire confidence.
The warranty you get on a new Audi, BMW or Mercedes is 4 years/50k miles. Ssangyong/KGM warranty is 5 years/100k miles.
The Torres isn't my cup of tea, but its looks are a lot less objectionable than many. The MPG is admittedly poor, but that isn't going to be a problem if you don't do a lot of miles. What it does have is a massive boot, bigger (in capacity) than a Skoda Superb estate. The main problem as I see it is the price being too high for what it is. Skoda Kodiaq has a similar sized boot (with third row seats folded), costs about the same*, will be more efficient, and is a "known" brand.
*The Torres is auto only, cheapest Kodiaq would be a manual.
