        Bzzzttt! Nix on the comparison to Honda(Isuzu) Passport!


        When it was shown in 2001 as the MicroBus Concept, I wrote:


        It's actually BIGGER than it looks due to the wrong size cues
        given by the **20 inch** diameter wheels!


        WB: 118.1 in  (3 in longer than SWB EV)
        L:  185.5 in  (~3 in shorter than SWB EV)
        H:   75   in  (1.4 inches lower))
        W:   75.2 in  (~3 inches wider...excluding mirrors)


        3.2 liter 230hp V6, 5 speed Tiptronic, 245/45R20H tires


        If it wasn't so buttugly, it wouldn't be that bad of a hauler
        after all...
