SUV・・・今ではだいぶ聞きなれたのではないでしょうか？ SUVというのは、“Sport Utility Vehicle”の略です。 『スポーツ多目的車』と訳されます＾＾ SUV＝四輪駆動というイメージが私もあるのですが、私以外にもそう思っている方が多いと思います。 でもSUVは必ずしも四輪駆動である必要はなくて、定義は難しいようです。 あえて定義するならば・・・というものはあるみたいですけどね＾＾ だから、私の乗っているRAV４なんかもSUVという言い方をしますし、ハリアーなんかもそうですよね。 SUVという分類をされる車は、この辺では結構走っています。 やっぱり土地柄もあるのかもしれませんが、冬にスキーやスノボをする人はSUVに好んで乗っているような気がします＾＾ 私はスキーもスノボもしませんけど、SUVに乗っていますけどね（笑） SUV専門買取り店はこちらLand Rover To Release LR4 Model, Really A LR3 With An Extra Bench Seat

In general I’m not a big fan of station wagons. This may be familial in origin, since my family never owned one, so I have no warm, fuzzy memories of riding in one as a child. Nor do I recall any of our circle of friends and family having one or ever even riding in one; such is the impression this type of vehicle made on me. Nevertheless, in recent years a few of them–starting with the Dodge Magnum–have made me take a second look.
