i completely agree. there is little sense in nitpicking over the distinction between an SUV and an AUV, since technically and logically, all AUVs are SUVs. to say that the CR-V (and for that matter, a crosswind, revo, etc...) is not an SUV because it is classed as an AUV is to fool yourself.

IF an AUV is taken to mean a 10-seat vehicle, a CR-V becomes an AUV because it "seats" 10, while a "10-seater" expedition or patrol remains an SUV? this taxonomy would make sense only to CR-V bashers.
