As a parent now of driving age kids, that for me is a big positive. I'd much rather kids be in to the off road scene than the things we used to do on the road.
2, referring to utes etc as 'off road' vehicles is also just a generation thing. Pigeon-holing things in to specific categories is old school. Times have changed. These vehicles, while loathed by some, are extremely versatile. Much more than the traditional cars we grew up with.

Totally valid points (Im not a parent but i see what you mean) But ive seen plenty of 4x4 p platers sideways in places they shouldnt be/racing their mates and all that. In fairness they are probably less powerful than some 90s falcons but 80s falcons probably not.
My comment wasnt a criticism of what p platers are doing now, more an observation compared what i grew up with and possibly p platers a few years after me also.
