As for Jeeps not being SUVs... where do you think SUVs originated from?

Brooks Stevens' woodless Willys Jeep station wagon was designed in 1946 and stayed in production until 1963.





In the early 1950's, one thousand Willys Overland Jeep Station Wagons, a popular civilian family car, and the first true SUV, were purchased, outfitted in olive-drab paint and distributed to various Army hospitals for testing as litter-carriers.





There are many kinds of "Jeeps". Not all were made by Chrysler! Not all look like Wranglers. But they all share the same heritage. Jeep was the inspiration for the modern day 4WD SUV, like it or not.
