Consumer Reports

[Frank]

Saw car issue yesterday at dentist's waiting room and was slightly
miffed that CS rated Rav4 slightly ahead of Forester for small SUV.
Reason given was slightly better gas mileage. Elsewhere they
mentioned Subaru mileage and CS ratings dragged down by producing all
AWD's. Well, duh, don't these overaged flower children at Consumer
Reports understand why a lot of us buy Subaru's? In my opionion a
vehicle without AWD/4WD should not be considered an SUV. An SUV
should be able to go places that 2WD or FWD can't go.

I think subarus should not be called SUVs.

SUV stands for Stupendously Useless Vehicle.
