They aren't all that common because there weren't that many made -- the good
ones, the XS and RS with the bigger engine and the Lotus-designed
suspension, were only in production for a few years ('90-'93, I think).
Izusu got out of the U.S. car market soon after -- they sell nothing but
trucks over here now.
