so anyway. these look weird... almost weird enough to get one 
sinc ethey have yellow number plates they must have a 600cc motor or thereabouts..
good? bad? or just weird? they are abotu the size of those little suzuki handivans you see in Oz..

they are cool! u wouldnt think youd see something like that in japan. i recon the little kei vans are cool, especially when they are pimped out. 
to bad everyones buying them and not any of the sports cars. the market for them is depleating very slowly.

That's pretty cool.
It just needs the bar down the middle of the windscreen for the split window look.

Nope, fuel filler in a different place and rear side window is a different shape.

Based on a Subaru Sumber, there is even a Ute version.
