Junkyard Find: 1993 Eagle Summit Wagon

The Eagle Summit car was a rebadged Mitsubishi Mirage, which itself was the same car as a Dodge/Plymouth Colt. But the Summit wagon was actually a Mitsubishi RVR, sold in the United States as the Mitsubishi Expo LRV and the Dodge/Plymouth Colt Wagon. In Europe, this thing was known as the Space Runner. Space Runner!


In fact, this is a good time to watch a European commercial for the Space Runner. And, just as I did with the '12 Chevy Sonic rental-car review, I'm going to find some more not-very-relevant ads for the RVR.

A whole lot more than a four-door!

How about Bugs Bunny riding an RVR to the beach while getting red-eyed to Japanese reggae?

Apparently Bugs was the RVR spokesman.

You could get a Space Wagon in Brazil, too.

Within a few years, just about every potential Eagle Summit buyer would be looking at SUVs.
