I don't think you understand what I mean. When I say car it doesn't include SUVs/trucks. The difference used to be cars (unibody) vs SUVs/trucks (body on frame). A lot of SUVs are now unibody including my Grand Cherokee.

There are many types of SUVs and trucks with 4wd in the US. I guess in Europe you only have Land Rovers or G-wagons. I don't think GLs or MLs are common in EU but you can get beefed up off road packages in the US.

As I explained in my other comment - I forgot that in US, "car" and "suv" are two different things. You could have a Ford F150 or a Chevy Escalade here and it would still be a "car" , just like a car without roof is still a car but of a subtype "cabriolet".
