What do people classify your car as? My mom classifies my car as a van, and my dad classifies it as a jeep. I dunno why my dad classifies my car as a jeep, looks nothing like one.Inder Singh

well, i get truck and van a lot!truck?

my cuzins always pick me all the time. they're always like, lets take inder's van. it can fit all of us

wagon or hatchback... I refer to it as a sports hatchback

Wagon / SUV type vehicle... I believe my insurance calls it a wagon and when I had a Blazer and a Jeep, stationwagons. My PT too...

yeah. that's what my insurance calls it. 5-door hatchback.inder singh

State Farm calls it a wagon...I call it a SUV-car.

I call it the grocery go getter-Its a wagon

Guys at my work call it the "Viberator"

(removed)

My preferred classification is a station wagon. When I first bought it, my brother-in-law tried to convince me it was a SUV. We argued about it for a while, then I finally asked him why he thought I should call it a SUV over station wagon.. "because SUV just sounds better..." Uh, ok. I guess I could just call it a '4S' like appears on my registration.

my insurance company classifies it as a 5 door hatchback but Budget Rental charges you SUV prices if you want to rent one! (at least at the Baltimore airport)

A couple of my friends call it an "active young persons vehicle."Me, I call it a sport wagon.

i call it car, suv, hatchback, wagon, but mostly call it "THE vibe". it's in a classification all of its own.

My brothers friends call it the Vibby.Inder

my insur. clasifies it as a wagon. I do too.to small for an suv.Compact station wagon would be accurate for me..

Yeah. Sub Compact Wagon is correct term though. If I'm not mistaken.Inder

Insurance calls it a wagon...no argument from me there as long as the premiums stay low.My friends call it my "Hoopty" in jest. My wife calls it my mid-life crisis!

The matrix window sticker says"CUV" compact utility Vehicle

I heard that CUV stands for Crossover Utility Vehicle. Somewhere between an SUV and a Car. I personally like the old Matrix commercials in 2k2 that called it "The World's First Sport Utility Rocket."

My 7 year old daughter is very happy that I got a "min-van" (my new 2005 Salsa 5-Speed). I'm happy she thinks its a minvan because she always wanted one. So now both she and I are happy we got what we wanted

that's cute . Inder

My wife calls it my GT a "mid-life crisis car"...my daughter (7) calls it an embarassment (because of the bright yellow decals on a black car) and my twins (3) call it "daddy's black car". I call it a wagon.

When I researched it, it was always listed under "Wagons/Hatchbacks".I think of it as basically a Corolla hatchback.

I prefer to think of mine as a mini-SUV, I feel less old that way. CUV sounds good also.

CUV is right. Cross-over utility vehicle

That's an interesting one... I think of it as a compact sport wagon.

My title calls it a 4 door hatchback. My kids call it the "bunny squisher" or b.s. for short.

sport wagon

I call mine a crossbread, lol. I think it's a cross between a car and a suv.

My feeling is, the term "suv" is over used....First and foremost if it aint 4wd or AWD it aint an "suv" I dont care how big or small it is or how many miles-per-gallon / gallons-per-mile you get. If all 4 wheels dont get some sort of power from the engine then it aint no SUV

So, according to your theory, a WRX sedan is an SUV, Baja, Legacy, 3000GT VR-4, 300ZX, and the list goes on and on.Inder

My title calls it a wagon, and I tend to agree. However, I really like CUV. It sounds cool. And yes, SUV is over-rated.

In MD, my registrations lists it as a 5S, whatever that means.crossover utility vehicle is better than a sport utility crossover (CUV vs. SUX) it's a car.

A vehilce having 4wd does not make it an suv, but to be an suv it does have to have 4wd.Thats like saying bunnys have long ears. therefore those with long ears are bunnys.Maybe I just didnt complete my feelings into text properly, sorry.

idaho DOT and geico say wagonI like sport wagon myself
