    Often referred to as inspiration for the Matra work towards a monospace vehicle.

    Liteace is their name, right? We had them with Starlet engines. The slogan was: "The pretty girl from Toyota comercial vehicles".

    This is great! It was only a matter of time that the limos and taxis would have to scale down and drive more fuel efficient vehicles.
