Default SUV or Station Wagon

When you guys take your Q5 to get detailed, do they classify it as an SUV or station wagon? My guy charges $145 for exterior wash/wax for station wagons and $165 for SUVs and minivans. He insists the Q5 is an SUV and not a station wagon even though it's closer in size to say, a Dodge Magnum than a Dodge Caravan. Just looking for a good argument I can use to save $20.

FROM AUDI:
Q5
The SUV for a new generation. Convincing without being persuasive. Sportive without being unreasonable. Efficient driving pleasure.

Hit them with: "It's a crossover here's a buck fifty five".

Thanks, I think I'll just use that line next time. He'd probably split the difference 50/50 (hey, it's a free $10!)

I'm in NJ and my registration classifies it as a "wagon". There is no SUV classification. Next level up is "truck". They classified my old Chevy S10 Blazer as a wagon too. But as a driver of a Q5, I'd never say I drive a station wagon.

The allroad is a wagon, the Q5 is an SUV. Both on the same chassis.

There's no way I would call it a wagon for $20...
