"Mitsubishi had a nice looking small van back in the 80's as well."   Interestingly, it was one of those vans that got me into my current Westy.  'Twas back in Aught-One, as I recall, on vacation to sunny Florida at the Everglades National Park.  I'd parked our Mopar minivan next to one of these little Mitsu vans, a 4WD version with owner-installed hightop (you could tell) and Swiss plates.  I remember looking at it and thinking that with one of those little vans a person could go ANYWHERE.   It was shortly thereafter that I narrowed the available-in-the-U.S. selection to the VW Vanagon Westy (for practical and monetary reasons the Syncro was removed from consideration--still desirable, though), I found this list, started the search and here we are.   Stephen

Still do, if you can call it that, the Sienna. More car like than van, though. Toyota's first mini van sold in the US (1983?) was cool looking, it too was Vanagon like only smaller, and even came as a 4X4. Mitsubishi had a nice looking small van back in the 80's as well.
