Well, there *were* marmots involved, but since they are herbivores, they
were only there for the "initial persuasion" phase; the female SUV
driver was there because that is the only way we can attract the unique
candidates to fill our staffing shortages. The SUV is there because we
have way more petrol than you ever could imagine :)

The idea is that the SUV can go places that those other modes of
transportation cannot.  What you don't see is what happened when they got
where they were going.  The SUV is parked, overlooking a grand vista, when
two hikers suddenly appear as if by magic out of the wilderness.  They look
at the SUV, at the people in it, then at one another.  Simultaneously, they
exclaim, "Tourists!", and shuffle off back into the underbrush leaving the
SUV folks in stunned bewilderment.  Eventually, they decide to leave, but
the SUV won't start.  They pull out their cell phones, but they don't work,
and after three days of eating party sandwiches and resorting to drinking
the melting ice in the cooler, they are eaten by marmots.  Future hikers use
the SUV as a shelter.
