Where did the name SUV or Sports Utility Vehicle come from to describe a slightly raised hatch back or estate car?
To me an SUV, if I had never seen one could be a Holden or Ford ute so popular in Australia with a V8 under the hood and tyres bigger that found on F1 car, or a VW caddy with the under pinnings of a Golf GTi or a slightly detuned Transit Supervan. In other words a utility vehicle that was quicker than your average van or pick up that could still be used to carry goods or used for services.
Instead we get a raised hatch back to carry passengers.
