Station Wagon, SUV,CUV, whatever you want to call it, Shooting Brake, Airport Hack.
Tell her it's a Station Wagon and she wouldn't buy it. Tell her it's a Minivan and you get the same reaction, I think it's based on the Optima so it IS a Station Wagon version of a Sedan.
Make any sense, NO, but hey she likes it and she can afford it.
Why not 4 WD? We bought a Murano with 4WD in 2004, figuring we might need it with the driveway having a 10 foot elevation change in less than 100 feet length. Never used it in 35k miles. On the Nissan it was a $1600 option and you didn't have to buy anything else to get 4WD. I guess she doesn't need to go off roading in the Wal Mart parking lot
