The Forester is a very nice, safe vehicle, but it is neither an SUV nor a
truck. Nowadays, that type of vehicle's referred to as a crossover.
SUV=Sport Uitlity Vehicle. Originally sold as something which could be
taken off-road. Hence the high center of gravity and stiff suspension which
made it unsafe at highway speeds.
But 'merkans with more money that sense just saw that it was Big, and
appeals to the unthinking lizard-brained mentality.
