2010 Acura ZDX Photo Gallery

The more I look at this 2010 Acura ZDX Photo Gallery, the more I worry about the classification of SUVs.

Acura's designers have quite cleverly disguised the ZDX as a coupe, despite the fact that it has four doors; five, in fact, if you count the tailgate as a door. They've hidden the rear door handles in the C-pillar, and made the doors so small-looking from the outside that it's hard to believe that adults could use them. The impression isn't so far off, actually -- I had to contort myself in order to squeeze all 6'2" inside.

If we call the ZDX an SUV, are we extending the definition too far?

But if it's not an SUV, then what is it?
