I think that's the most shocking thing of all!

Gurney

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.

Your right, he must be getting sick of this thing:

Nice Beaver.

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

(sorry   )

Surely the Deca Deca was designed exclusively for Metal Mickey and his family?

I think the Basket would make the ideal Greek holiday rental car.

I don't know why I just do.

I actually quite like all of them, but then I do like the Nissan Cube too.

Are Dihatsu quite a major brand in Japan then?  Only ever been an oddball brand over here really.

Not really. They rank among the niche makes like Subaru and Suzuki.

Major ones are Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi.

It reminds me of the Citroen Mehari.

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.

I do love these Japanese K-cars and like the Basket and e:s.

Nissan Land Glider:

Fuck me, they're a weird lot, the Japanese.

Yeah, that's the one I have trouble getting my head round.
BeN

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.
