Apparently Mr Ellis is a bigger NASCAR fan than Norskpro. :-)
Norskpro Jun 14, 2020:
Thank you. I still think, then, that this means any cars they have in stock.
Michael Ellis Jun 14, 2020:
Stock Car Purely for amusement in these gloomy times!

Context Som en konsekvens av detta har utvecklingsarbetet temporärt reducerats samt styrts om och fokuserats på tre områden; utveckling av e-checkout, automatisk inkallning, samt automatisering av processen att köpa lagerbil online.

Under Q2 har arbetet styrts om för att fokusera på processen ”Köpa lagerbil online” där den första tillämpningen utgörs av integration med Wayke.

Norskpro Jun 13, 2020:
It would help to have the context?

crossover (SUV)

See the links for examples. I haven’t had time to check whether the “SUV” part is used in marketing these in the UK. Both versions are used over here.

I meant that both “crossover SUV” and just “crossover” are used.
Peer comment(s):

agree David Rumsey : SUV = Sport Utility Vehicle. Used on its own in enUS.

Well, the Volvo models and several others at the links are “SUVs” only in the minds of their marketing managers. ;-) They are crossovers long before they earn the SUV title. Signed, Owner of a Chevy Tahoe and a Toyota 4Runner, former owner of a Suburban
