Was "sedan" meant here and not "saloon"?
Try as I might, I can't think of why anyone would want to compare SUV's to a western drinking establishment of a bygone era. Although I do see how being in a saloon at the wrong time would have also come with it's own deadly risks.
They don't use the term on some of the colonies, but in the King's English, saloon is a term for a luxury sedan.
It's funny because you could have checked this yourself by just searching "saloon car" but you chose to be rude instead.
I had to look it up too: https://www.buyacar.co.uk/cars/family-cars/saloon-cars/363/what-is-a-saloon-car
