I saw that review also.  The thing that came to mind was if it created more
front end dive.  Considering the tall height and short wheel base.  I can just
see the spare tire cover hitting the ground.  (I have done several times where
this parking lot exit slopes down, has a dip and the road goes uphill.  Even if
you go slow...)
