What do they call those Japanese 4-wheeled armored cars? I was trying to google them and couldn't find it.

What do they call those Japanese 4-wheeled armored cars? I was trying to google them and couldn't find it.They call it the *Light Armoured Combat Vehicle * apparantly- amazing the Japanese *self defence force* would use a vehicle with the word *combat* in its name. You'll find a profile pic and some tech info *here*. Note a lot of similarities to the French/Chrysler PVP series.
Their 8-wheel wheelie prototype is the *Type 96*; their Humvee versionis the Toyota Mega-Cruiser, and their Jeep/VLTT equivalent is the *Type 73 Pajero.*
