Thank the EPA.
I recall an article with the reason that SUVs supplanted the station wagon: for CAFE fuel economy standards, station wagons were counted as cars, and messed with manufacturers fuel economy averages. SUVs counted as trucks.

Thank the EPA.You're absolutely right, they created the SUV loophole, and it resonated with people who think "sport" means leather seats and electric cup holders.
My suggestion: "TANK the EPA"

My SUV [in the state it is registered in] is classified as a truck. I love it so much, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. From stand-still, it feels like a truck at over 4500#. Great in deep snow....and who woulda thunk you need a heated steering wheel [it came that way].
