Doug Demuro definitely has gotta feature this

And pickups + minivans will still park 1 inch away from this car.

They're still making Kei-sports cars, just much less in number. Daihatsu has a new Copen and Honda has returned with a new S660. Both sporty, nimble little kei cars.

if it went one more mile an hour then you got yourself a tiny delorean time machine

Because it has gullwing doors. End of story

I saw a guy pull up to the skate park in one of these. I was baffled.

It seems interesting. Would love to see more of these type of car at a decent price.

Suzuki cappuccino, Honda beat, Mazda az-1. Will we ever see cars like these being made again

:58 - still one of the most beautiful cars from that time. 3rd gen RX-7. I’d love to have one as a 3rd car. This car kind of reminds me of a Fiero in terms of size and fun. At least their v6 version. I’d never fit but be fun.

Does anyone hate when non-car people talk about cars?

I’ve liked these for so long and I kept looking at the prices online at Japanese auctions and they were very reasonably priced. Now that everyone else is on the wave and wants to import them they’ve shot up in price, way too much for me now

First 10 secs and I'm thinking *I WANT THIS CAR* 😍😍😍

This guy got the definition of bubble era completely wrong. Japan was the China of 1980's, they were 'destined to rule the world, ' then the Japanese economic bubble popped. Had nothing to do with the bubble styling #fakenews

As an added feature you can get handles for it that just plug into the side if you get in an accident- it becomes your coffin.

Yea, this thing is cute but all I can think about is being completely crushed or being punted across a freeway like a soccer ball in the event of an accident. No thanks.
