Not sure why you would suddenly change Mitsubishi's 4-door sedan from Class A to Class B (especially considering how crowded Class B is). Sure it is 4wd but I see it as a road car (with the option to annoy farmers by racing across their corn fields) and not a Military light utility vehicle which is what I consider Class B to be.
Sorry ... my fault. You have registered it as a Class A vehicle, so the list will be / is corrected.

At nine o'clock Rear Admiral Zhou Enlai entered with a cigarette in his hand and with slow steps his office on the first floor. The production of small underwater vehicles was started and also the first training for his special forces had been completed. All in all it looks very good and yet he was dissatisfied. Because what was missing, was the transport ship for his 'Hailis' - if they should be activated. He looked at the different designs of CNDO which was presented to him last week and made some notes on the individual drawings before he folded the sheets and tucked them back in his briefcase. Then he ordered his aide to make a telephone link with the headquarter.
