This has nothing to do with marketing, but it tickles me to know you could get a 1990 Dodge Caravan minivan ordered up with a turbo four and a manual 5 speed.
I imagine they sold, what, maybe four of these, but that is a bitchin’ combo. I’m told enthusiasts build these out to over 300 hp to make what must be the most dangerous torque steering monster ever to drop kids at a little league game.
