Sport Utility Vehicles? Really? I suppose for the millions of moms that won't drive a "wagon" it's one way to sell them one... just convince them it's "sporty".
Ya can put a dress on a pig - it's still a pig.

If you remember, the truck and SUV popularity got its major boost back in the 70's ? 80's ? when they were exempted out of the SMOG certs of the day, while hitting passenger cars with heavier requirements. Whether or not there is still a different SMOG class for them is not as important as the perception of a remaining exemption.
