I think a Westy can be classified as a SUV when modified. It is sporty, it has utility, and it is a vehicle. Ticks all three boxes. Some of the modded ones are very cool.
Also feel that a Jeep GC (ZJ and WJ) as well as older Cherokees are cool SUV's. They can tow well, are a blast in the snow and mud, and have the safety and convenience features of a car. Yes they don't handle like cars but neither do must trucks and older SUV's. Use as they are intended and they do well. Modify them and they are great.
