The GM Suburban 4X4
is a "full-size",
i.e. huge, American four wheel drive.
Nine people can be seated in three rows of seats
and still leave as much luggage room as in most other 4X4s.
The Suburban was brought to Sydney
for the
International Motor Show
(Oct' 1997).
GM started selling it in Australia in February 1998.
