It looks like it could fill the niche left by the demise of the Astro/Safari. Isn't it just like the Japanese to recognise a need and then fill it. WAKE UP GM!!!. There must have been a balloon pilot on the concept team. \:D/

agreed, Architect's mobile onsite office indeed. The concept team must have done their marketing research in japan.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....

That's right. As you may know, according to Uncle BS "Japanese folks just fit in your lap"

I doubt it. With a 147+" wheelbase, this thing is gonna be considered a full-size, far as I'm concerned. I can't believe that auto manufacturers don't see a market for an Astro-sized van. Businesses such as mine will be forced to go with full-size vans, burn more fuel, charge higher rates to pay for the increased cost of fuel as well as the higher cost of the van, & therefore do our part to jack up the cost of living even more.... #-o
