1.61kmh = 1 mph, so the 1.9 WBX would cruise at 87mph. "Wheels" liked its
performance, which overall beat all of the Japanese peoplemovers of the era
except the basic Mitsubishi Delica (=L300 =Express; the heavier 1.8
Starwagon version hadn't been tested yet) 1.6.
I've looked for the 2.1 test but it's buried somewhere in my basement. They
thought the IRS Previa outhandled it, if I remember rightly.
