Is a Subaru Forester an SUV?
My friend just bought a new Subaru Forester, and she keeps calling it her “new crossover.” I thought the Forester was an SUV, though. Am I wrong?

Dealers and manufacturers have been using the terms “SUV” and “crossover” interchangeably for years, but your friend is actually right here. The Subaru Forester is a compact crossover, not an SUV.
All this really means is that the Forester is built using the same unibody construction manufacturers rely on for sedan production. By the book SUVs are built using the body-on-frame construction common in truck manufacturing. That makes the Forester a solid member of the crossover lineup.
