An acronym for sport utility vehicle. This breed of vehicles renowned for their ruggedness, simplicity, often generous accomodations, and most
importantly their ability to traverse terrain that unsuitable (if not
impossible) for cars.
Proper SUVs feature manual transmissions, torque rich engines, proper ground clearance, 4WD that when not in use reverts to RWD, and either a body-on-frame
construction or truck based unibody.
As of late, auto manufactures have combined the capability of a good 4x4 vehicle with the refinement and ease of a car. Thus, an explosion in their popularity has resulted. Envy towards them stems in large part from individuals who live below the povery level, insecure about their own vehicles worthyness, jealous of their capabilities, and scapegoat nonsense lies on such vehicles.
