| − | The '''Canyonero''' is the trademark Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in The Simpsons. It was endorsed by [[Krusty the Clown]] when it first appeared in ''[[The Last Temptation of Krust]]''. It is a large red SUV and was introduced just as the SUV craze began to hit the United States. The design is basically a parody of the large SUV and the "I own an SUV, therefore, I own the road" style of driving. The theme song helps to demonstrate this. Homer buys a red Canyonero in ''[[Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"]]'', but soon realizes he bought the F-series. He refuses to drive it, not wanting to be seen as a homosexual; when Marge drives it, it sends her into a state of road rage. | + | The '''Canyonero''' is a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). |
