But the CR-V's ability to lead SUVs and crossovers in terms of U.S. sales has held almost completely firm (save for 2011) since it took over from the Ford Explorer in 2007.
Car-based SUVs - we call them crossovers now, whatever that means - took the six top spots and eight of the top ten in 2008. This list includes one premium brand utility, the Lexus RX. And a Saturn.
That Saturn, the tenth-ranked Vue, was new for the 2008 model year. You can still buy one, sort of. The fleet-only Chevrolet Captiva Sport is a Vue, and it was America's 31st-best-selling SUV/crossover in 2013.
