The Mazda Proceed Marvie isn't something you see everyday. Or even once a year. Or maybe not in your lifetime. What it is...is a car with a verb placed squarely in the middle of its name -- not common, but certainly noteworthy. The Proceed was sold in the USA with a B-Series badge and I don't think we ever got the SUV version...which was simply a pickup truck with a camper shell and a 3rd row installed with some bolts. I think it makes a sensible alternative to whatever Rav4/CRV/Explorer you might find with a 3rd row that is just another piece of automotive blight on the street. Find this 1994 Mazda Proceed Marvie offered for $7750 in Fulton, MD via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

Closer to the early Toyota 4 runner's
ReplyDeleteI agree, except this has the advantage of a third row. I've long felt that Toyota really missed that opportunity for garnering more sales for a good twenty-five years.
