'Tank' is certainly an appropriate label for a Suburban.
Just why would a German word as such be offensive?

I've got a frame that says 'German American', as well as (shock horror)
'Deutsche Gemuetlichkeit' (IIRC - haven't moved it to the Audi yet, and
the latter part is partially hidden by teh trunk lid of the Caprice 
it's on).
Is that offensive, too?
