It's a bit of an original. Gone but not forgotten.

It was something along the lines of the rear passangers cant get out into traffic. But seriously, if you have 4 passengers, asking one to shimmy over in the back is a bit rude.

I’m intrigued by how much closet fandom there is for Shagnas. It’s approaching Teutophilia, at least on here.

Agreed! A 3.5 AWD VRX would have been an excellent buy back then.

The 3.5 Mitsubishi had the refinement of the Toyota's 3.0, but the grunt of the 3.8 Holden and 4.0 Ford engines. First Aussie made car with a 5-speed auto, first Aussie car with a manual shift mode as well.
