The parts guys are working on it and promise a call back shortly. We do
know it's got more doors, though.
I would think Long Range.... only 'cause every other acronym I can think of
isn't very complimentary. Is there a polo shirt that explains it all?

Thanks Peter. It might be something like Little Rec. Vehicle. In Japan it is
the RVR, and the first R is backwards! They haven't sold the LRV in the
states for years. It was also the Plymouth Colt Vista and the Eagle Summit.
It is apparently a popular rally car, and the Mitsu page has it in the
competition section. I'll post the question to the Expo page and see if
anybody there knows.
Mine has the 1.8L engine (a 2.4L was an option), auto trans with OD, K&N
filter. I put on Michelin X-One tires (with the six year warranty) about two
years ago, and they are almost down to the wear indicators. I get free tires
soon!
With 103,000 miles, it runs like a champ. No rattles and it can handle 85 all
day long without complaining. Until I get the Midget on the road, I use the
Expo for Solo II in HS class. Not real fast, but loads of fun and worthwhile
seat time.
BTW, I made my own T-shirt!
