Current crop of SUV'S
Why do they call them SUV'S when then vast majority of them are glorified station wagons? To me a SUV is a truck based full frame vehicle. Got to love marketing.

Well, the world of motor vehicles just keeps changing to match customer demand. Unfortunately, customer demand is often based on fads, and superficial characteristics. I've had some small wagons and I think they are about the best, most sensible way to go.
The performance, handeling, weight and mileage of a car with more cargo space. Whereas, many think they have to "set up higher" which is overrated. Just make a small wagon a couple inches taller if desired. A small hatchback is next best or better. Still light and a car with great mileage. Some of them look sharp and are quick also. I don't get SUVs for 90% of buyers. My Ford Focus certainly isn't the perfect car in quality but it's fun, great ride, back seats fold flat and I'm averaging well over 30 city/highway combined.
