We are talking taking a legendary name like Wrangler, Chevelle or Mustang and putting it on something that is blasphemes, it is an explorer...... It was a lackluster vehicle then whatever you decide to call it......
Ford can do what ever they want to the Explorer and I don't care about that. My issue is calling a crossover an SUV. They aren't SUV's. Body on frame + RWD basis = SUV. Unibody and FWD = CUV. Things get a little mixed up with unibody + RWD, the jury is still out on those. Regardless, there are 0 SUV's that are crossovers. Every SUV is an SUV. Every CUV is a CUV.
