    I think part of it’s that “SUV” better refers to the shape of the car than the size. Same for vans. I’ve got less experience with minivans, but I’ll assume they’re similar.

    I bought my SUV because it was more fuel efficient and only slightly larger than my old hatchback. But I don’t have something like a suburban or whatever.

        Well, tell the people who label the things that a crossover SUV isn’t an SUV, since that’s not what they’re telling people.

        Title of the thread reads to me like (super size trucks) and SUVs not ( Super size (trucks and SUVs).
        Beyond that, according to the actual article, the best selling SUV is a rav4, which is a compact crossover SUV.
