Do you consider a Ford Flex to not be a SUV ? Thing's huge and most other example you provided are either clearly SUV or are bigger than they need to be to be a "normal" car.
- potato3732842 1y agoThe Flex is close to identical in form factor and size to a pre-oil crisis station wagon. Probably has less ground clearance too. It takes the honesty of a professional political to call it an SUV.
- campl3r 1y agoI got no good frame of reference, but google seems to suggest it's around 13% bigger than a typical station wagon. How is this car not considered a massive SUV?
- Orygin 1y agoThis thing is so huge, I cannot comprehend the American carbrain if it's considered "average" for them
- Orygin 1y agoAre you comparing to the car market of 50 years past to justify a vehicle that is more akin to a tank than a modern regular car? Like you say, the term itself is meaningless but it does encompass the current class of vehicles that are needlessly big, heavy, and so high of the ground that some tanks literally have better forward vision than those SUVs. I don't really care what Americans drove 50 years ago, I care that most cars sold here (EU) are way oversized for practically no reason that the consumer cares about.
- potato3732842 1y agoI'm comparing to pre-oil crisis land yachts because I don't want a bunch of nit picking jerks to complain that it's wider than the 1990ish county squire or caprice wagon I would have preferred to to compare it to on account of the comparable internal dimensions.
