Well crossover is an SUV, the most popular type of "stupid size car" in Europe at least

    I always thought of them as a distinct category but maybe you're right I don't actually know.

    I had to double-check, but the difference seems to be that traditionally SUV has a frame separate from the body construction, and crossover has the body form frame

    But also, that definition is not always followed and people just call the stupidest size cars SUVs, and the less-stupid-but-still-stupid-size crossover

    But for example, by that definition this lada niva is a crossover, not an SUV

    Yeah I also looked it up and it doesn't really seem like there's a consensus on whether they count as SUVs. So I guess we're both kinda right.

    Either way fuck cars that are bigger than they need to be. That's the ultimate point.
