Volkswagen neither

Navigator is a suv, but too big to have fun in really.
I guess Motor Trend was wrong naming the Volkswagen SUV of the year since it isn't one.

I am so partial to white rides with black leather. Nice Pathfinder. I remember wanting one as a kid, BEFORE this huge SUV craze.

A real suv is not built on a car platform and comes RWD standard now FWD.

It is, but I like it to look like a truck still.

That's your narrow definition of an SUV. Fortunately, few in the industry subscribe to that definition. Heck, all I have to say is "an SUV must have a cable winch in the front of it" and suddenly your SUV is no longer an SUV, right?

I guess I'm just tire of people defining a vehicle by their own criteria. Why can't you just say "I don't like car-based SUVs"? You have to say "it's not a real SUV because it doesn't meet my criteria"?

Yeah, seriously. All this coming from a guy who thought a 203 inch Toyota Sequoia with a 10.6 ground clearance is not an SUV.
