    That's an awsome vehicle,looks like there is loads of room in the back for camping gear / cargo, etc. is it going to be a Hybrid Engine I wonder ? there is only one thing though , from what I noticed there doesn't seem to be much protection around the cabin in case it rolls.

    Good grief!
    That thing was not "hit with an ugly stick", it was severely beaten with one.

    What is is about Jap's and ugly vehicles??

    Bingo! knew I'd seen it somewhere

    Being a Suzuki, its probably about 9 feet long with a 500cc buzz motor

    Bizarrely cute in a very strange way...

    Needs a funnel aft of the cabin, then it'd really look like a tugboat....

    My feeling is that's it's been beaten by the ugly stick into a surprisingly attractive shape It's so ugly it's cute. I'd get one, too, provided they had a bus version.

    Was in Tokyo at the beginning of the month...

    Local told me that those narrow (Smart style) cars you see in Japan only pay $70 rego a year whereas a 4cyl normal sized car pays around $350. Incentive to buy small.
