| re: MPVs
The MPV is a Mazda product, not a generic term we use. The phrase we use
is mini-vans. Of course there is also the 4wd truck type person carrier
which is all the rage over here. The term for those is SUV, or Suburban
Utility Vehicle.

| This is a nit, but SUV is Sport Utility Vehicle from what I have read.
As far as a Peugeot/Fiat joint venture, I never heard of any. What
was it?

2222.6 | In UK, MPV means Multi Purpose Vehicle, | COMICS::TRAVELL | John T, UK VMS System Support | Thu Feb 10 1994 23:49 | 11 |
| and primarily refers to something like the Espace, that can carry a full load
of people, then can have the seats removed (quickly?) and be used as a van,
with preferably a choice of seating arrangement as some intermediate step.
By this definition, until now the ONLY `MPV's have been the Renault and Chrysler
models, as ALL of the Japanese `People-carriers' have needed to use tools to
remove the seats (NOT quickly!).
I presume that the Pug-Citr-Fiat has Q-D seats?

| The previous Peugeot-Fiat joint venture was on their equivalent to the
Ford Transit.... I don't know about anyhwere eles, but in the UK the
van was/is sold with Citroen/Talbot and Fiat badges.
If this joint venture thingy that everyone is thinking about is
definitely a car... the only recent one that I can think of that
involves Fiat was the Fiat Croma/ Renault 25/ Saab 9000 doobrie...
