The video of the Car and Driver test called it a "Fullsize" spare
I could care less what others think. I love the Vehicross. Always have. I still get compliments and looks on it. Even from members of my 4wd club who have much larger and more built jeeps and toyotas and hummers. They're amazed at how well it wheels stock and with the couple little mods i've made. One kid loved the flex, especially when i told him the sway bars were still hooked up.

That's why i bought mine and love it so. Who cares what others think. I own my dream car.
