I was under the impression it has to do with the way the feds categorize a vehicle. That is why minivans are registered as ‘wagons’. IIRC that is how the whole SUV craze started, Nissan figured out 4 doors = car to the feds and it got them around import tariffs on trucks or some craziness like that.
