Does the Basket come with matching cases?
I presume the Deca Deca is for those families who habitually drive wearing top hats.
That's quite a narrow niche, I would like to see their business model on that one.

And more to the point, how does it handle? Is it fun to weave through a sequence of bends.

I think the Basket would make the ideal Greek holiday rental car.
I don't know why I just do.

Not really. They rank among the niche makes like Subaru and Suzuki.
Major ones are Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi.

Daihatsu is majority-owned by Toyota so, although a minor brand, it has a bit of clout behind it.
I expect the Basket trugs along nicely. |

Fuck me, they're a weird lot, the Japanese.
They showcase all this acid-induced craziness, then build the Carina....

They're truly wacko. Sterile at work, absurd at play.
Just look at their game shows.

I'm another fan of crazy Japanese designs and K Cars. The Mitsubishi Dangan ZZ, Suzuki Cappuchino and Honda Beat were my favourites.
