Best selling does not mean best overall.
  
Do you really think the Ford Explorer is the best SUV on the market?

 
**Sidebar: Ford's gas-guzzler Explorer (it really eats gas to be so small) is now behind in sales to the number 1 Honda CR-V.
 
****Now back to your regularly scheduled minivans. Stay tuned for to GRAD News for more random updates****

True, just happened this year.
 
Even the CR-V, though, isn't what I'd consider the best SUV. No V6/engine upgrade option for starters.

Subaru was one of the major manufacturers to start DISHONEST advertising when they began calling a small 4 wheel drive station wagon an SUV.
 
Too many people do NOT know the difference between a REAL pickup and a small Light Utility Vehicle because of false advertising. Same with AWD vs 4 WD.
 
Honda CR-V vs Ford Explorer: NO Comparison. Are they the same type vehicle?
 
Isn't the CR-V built on a Front Wheel Drive car frame with AWD optional while the Explorer is built on a Rear Wheel Drive truck frame with 4 Wheel Drive optional?

Subaru never said SUV, they said Sport Utility Wagon. They pitched themselves as an SUV alternative, not just another SUV.
 
And what about 2WD SUVs, are they still SUVs?
 
Heck, the whole SUV label is a misnomer, what Sports do they practice, exactly? At least Subaru competes in WRC.
 
Explorers aren't particularly good off road, so that may not be the best example.

Thanks for the corrections. I had misinterpreted the Subaru ads and I agree with you 100 % concerning SUVs and Explorers.
 
Things have become very murky now that there are no longer just cars and trucks.

Not even on the Touring Model.
See the following Canadian Specifications web.

WHY do you get preferential treatment in Canada?
 
I noticed that DaimlerChrysler has also had better options for the Grand Caravan and T&C than we get in the USA. My "built in Canada" 2002 Chrysler T&C LX had zero defects while my "superior"? Toyota Sienna made in the USA had the right side 2nd row seat installed incorrectly. Don't even get me talking about your SUPERIOR health care in Canada compared to the overpriced system in the USA which resulted from too many lobbyists in Washington DC.

Same with Subarus for Canada.
 
The WRX has offered heated seats since 2002, and you don't have to get a loaded model, either.
