Perhaps someone simply added the Vanagon badge. > BenT How are you Ben, Japanese vehicles laws have a strict regulation to the imported vehicles. Japanese laws may have changed a name. Or, importer may have hoped sells T4 as a new model of T3-Vanagon. Do you know Lexas? Japanese market never says Lexas. J-Market says Celsior. These are examples. ECHO(UK)-->VITZ(JP)/ RABBIT(US)--> GOLF(JP) / AUDI 5000(US)-->AUDI 100(JP) more more.. Many cars which have a different name in the different country exist. At any rate, they are probably the same kinds. A name alters according to the situation of the country. These are not strange. Or, name may depend on astrology.. ;) Yosh@87Westy
