Well, that makes your definition of an SUV pretty useless for trying to actually change policy or culture, then.
We have to work with the definitions of things that actually exist in the world, not the ones we make up in our heads.

The word station wagon has meant that form factor in a car for over a hundred years (apparently around 1910, from some light searching). It's annoying that some marketing person suddently decided to call a station wagon a SUV now that SUV is the hip thing.
- CRConrad 3y agoOTOH, perhaps thinking of the Subaru Outback as a SUV just shows you have let a couple of decades of SUV propaganda make up the definition of "SUV" you have in your head for you. It's not like it's anywhere near a Dodge Ram in looks and design, is it? (OTGH, if it is, then maybe I'm mixing up the Outback with other Subaru models we have more of over here.)
