I'm offended they called it a "truck". I HAVE a truck and there is no similarity. If anything, the CX-5 is perhaps the first SUV to fit the moniker "SUV". I always laughed at the fact that vehicles like the Ford Explorer and Chevy Tahoe were termed "SPORT-utility vehicles". Nothing "sport" about them! More like an ill-handling, boxy station wagon.

The "sport" is their owners getting their kicks from harassing smaller vehicles on the road. You know, the big rig mentality...

Im with Mike. The CX5 isnt a truck, On sooo many levels.

Not a truck, not biodegradable.

But at least this line makes some sense:

"- Compact SUV Boasting Best-in-Class Fuel Economy Garners First "Green" Award -"
