Today l saw the current, smallest Subaru, Japanese market version, driving around here in New Zealand. It must be a private import, because l stopped at the local dealership and they said they had no clue what l was talking about.
l was in Japan in 1994, and back then, the smallest Subaru was called Vivio.
l suppose l saw its successor.
What is it called?

subaru replaced the vivio with the pleo in 1998.
