bgd73 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I instantly thought of the old beetle bus.The tires are tiny. I wonder what it has for an engine. Seeing the tallness of the van, I wonder if it went low boxer engine center of gravity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundeye Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 After looking around that site I wonder.........If those are JDM vehicles (and not all avail. in U.S.)....Why the hell are they given model names in English? I think they are teasing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are teasing us. After getting the www on my first pc 8 years ago... I almost want to vomit at the thought of vehicles so common sense overseas it frustrates me. Even ford and gm have some very interesting models (ie: Some AUS vehicles).The conservative is missing in usa, and what they think is fast is a sideways out of balance lop-sided v6-v8 FWD. The rarity of common sense RWD for the bigger engines is ridiculous. Long live the old sube (and alot of foreign others for that matter) ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffx Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Looks like the Sambar TC Professional has either the Selective EL+5MT or the Full-time E-3AT. There's a dealer in Canada (B.C.?) that imports Sambars, right? Edit for link http://japanoid.com/cardata.php?carNo=24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Looks very similar to this: http://www.tigertruck.com This one is a 4x4, too. http://www.tigertruck.com/4x4/index.html I used to ride in these in the shipyard every now and then, they feel halfway stable, but are limited at 32mph.

4WDFrenzy Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Sambar's and Sambar vans are pretty common around here. Oh, I should state that I live in Okinawa, Japan. I see more than I care to count on a daily basis, mainly because the housing maintanence guys drive them around. They are pretty neat little vehicles. I'm not sure however, if they would survive very well on the streets of the U.S. They have no reinforcements whatsoever, to protect you in the case that you get into an accident. Other than that, they are fuel efficient little people haulers. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenw22 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Sambars have a 660CC 3-cylinder engine. I believe they're supercharged, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
