He didn't ask that. IIRC John, the FQ-400 was a limited edition model of 100 to celebrate Mitsu's 50th year in the UK. Not a permanent model. >From the talk on LancerRegister, they all agree the FQ-320 is the best value of the line up. The 400 was over 100k new, quite a few are now selling them for more than they paid :S
