STARION - The name

Hey guys,

I have acquired a Japanesse Genuine Mitsubisihi sales brochure from early
the 80's.

The only english bit on it is a definition of the name Starion and where it came from. Just thought I would share it with you.

" The name STARION - derived from the combination of star and Arion, Hercules' Horse in Greek mythology - symbolizes a sense of the universe, and of power and high performance"
