| Vehicles purchased in Grenada from dealers seem to cost on the average of
about the twice the amount for a comparable vehicle purchased in the US. Most are smaller
Japanese imports that are not built to US standards. This means the chassis and suspension
generally seem to be made of lighter stock materials. |
