While we were shopping for our new Subaru, the dealer looked at the Brat
(Subaru's micro-pickup) and mentioned that, in his opinion, Subaru of
America ought to discontinue importing the (not a precise quotation)
"overpriced, underpractical rich boy's toy" and start importing Subaru of
Japan's mini-van.  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??).
