He described it as a great seller in Japan that would give the Caravan a run for your money. If it were as much better than the Caravan as the average Subaru is than the average Plymouth, he may be right. Especially if it came with 4wd like the rest of the line. He offered no clues as to whether importation was in the stars (get it, nudge nudge??). -- Human: Bob Sutterfield Facilities Management Division The Ohio State University Instruction & Research Computer Center Workplace: Ohio Cooperative Extension Service, Computer Management Group OCES VAX System Manager/Programmer (VMS) Mail: ...cbosgd!osu-eddie!sutter.UUCP or: sutter@ohio-state.CSNET MaBell: (614) 422 - 9034
