Americans began cultivating a rather intense interest in the world of double duty work/play machines in the 1980s. The market for 4WD passenger vehicles enjoyed a period of phenomenal growth, then. Paralleling that popularity was the equally robust demand for compact, space efficient, multi-purpose transporters, frequently taking the form of small/tall wagons. Industry experts forecast that this category of vehicles, offering both added safety in everyday use and additional flexibility for weekend getaways, was to continue to thrive in the 80s and beyond. Hmmmmm.
