    Geos were sold as Chevrolets in Canada until 1992 and Pontiac wanted a taste of the action so the "Asuna" brand was started up to compete with Chevy's Geo models.

    The Storm was sold as the "Asuna Sunfire" and the Tracker as the "Asuna Sunrunner". The departed Optima was resurrected as the "Asuna SE & GT". The Asuna nameplate was only around for the 1992-1993 season.

    Why would Pontiac compete with Chevy if they're both owned by GM? I know, I know, that's a philosophical question that ultimately resulted in the demise of Pontiac anyway, just curious as to why they would do that in a foreign market.

    So no Asuna CJ then? Maybe he was referring to the Tracker, although that's about as far from a Vehicross as you could get, other than the transfer case.

    Pretty sure it IS the same print the model used. I used the Tamiya print to spline the 3D VX model I wanted to mod into some racing games, but never got around to it. Hopefully the DARPA VX guys found a use for it when I passed it on to them.

    ???? Looks like it is on the right side..LOL...

    I noticed it looks the same as the Tamiya models. I now have two of them.

    I am happy I was able to share something that was not on here already.

    I especially like the top view that shows roof line and seating arrangement. It really shows why I bang my noggin on the driver's door jamb/window when I get into a situation that rocks the VX from side to side!

    When I read it, I thought maybe the "CJ" reference was to a Jeep CJ.....
