Continual confusion on what they are derived from
SUV, Sport Utility Vehicle (loved it when coined, now dislike it much
now that the fashion statement crowd has over run its sales) and
derived from a ladder framed pickup truck (generally)
CUV, Crossover Utility Vehicle and derived from a 'car' or monocoque/unibody
Both SUV and CUV comes in varying sizes. Full sized pickup, mid sized pickup,
full sized car, mid sized car, compact sized car, etc...
There is a difference and this accident locally telling. As this head on
(license plate to license plate) shows the Camry based CUV doing better
than the Saturn Vue based CUV
Wonder if the one with a higher front bumper is the reason it did better...
