Not many people are aware of what a people mover is. To begin with, it is a multi-seat vehicle. ‘People mover’ is originally an Australian term. It was Toyota that first made this kind of vehicle popular in the 1980s. This initiative was taken by the giant automobile manufacturing company to make sure that it effectively promotes Tarago, a MPV by nature which was designed to make a high number of passengers seat comfortably. 

People Mover is known by many different names in different countries. Usually, this type of vehicle is referred to as minibus of mini van. Some people also term it as mini utility vehicle or even people carrier. More often than not, it is usually used for commercial transport service purpose wherein a group of people are transported from one place to another and a certain amount of fee is charged to each one of them.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was no less than an evolution in the world of cars and automobiles. This car is popularly known as evo. It is one of the best sedans to have been produced ever. Most of the automobile experts believe that it is the highest performing sedan of all times. One of the highlights of lancer evolution is that it has been introduced to the world in as many as ten different versions. Apparently, all of them have gone onto create a sensation in the market. Originally, Mitsubishi wanted the lancer evolution to take over the Japanese market. However, with the popularity of the vehicle growing, very soon it was being exported to European markets on a very large scale. 

Out of the ten models, the evolution 8 is regarded as one of the best. This version went onto take the United States market by storm. The sales were mind-blowing to say the least. 

Nissan Stagea
