That's a Townace/Masterace (MPV version of Liteace) by another name. MUCH
smaller than a Vanagon. Versions with leaf springs don't handle as well as
those with torsionbar rears. 4WD versions are part-time 4WD, rear leaf
springs only. Unstable under hard braking.

Potential for hotting up (there's room for a DOHC 3.0 Toyota MkII or Supra
straight-6 in there).
