This is considered a kei car which is the Japanese classification for small, four-wheeled automobiles.
Kei car is the smallest category of Japanese, expressway-legal motor vehicles. 'Kei' is diminutive for kei-jidōsha, (kanji: 軽自動車), or "light automobile" (pronounced [keːdʑidoːɕa]). With restricted dimensions and engine specifications, owners benefit firstly from lower taxes and insurance rates. In most rural areas, importantly, they were also exempted from the general Japanese shako shōmeisho (車庫証明書) parking-space ownership requirement to legally buy a motor vehicle at all, as street parking is generally restricted in Japan. Japan's carmakers also make microvans and kei trucks within this legal category.

The Kei Truck is very popular in the US, but it doesn't have a crush zone, so be careful not to get into an accident.🥰 cheers.

I used to own a 550ccACTYTRUCK.The car had a smooth acceleration response and I was impressed with the stability of tha De Dion axle.

Japanese minicars are amazing. They are fuel-efficient and can run on rough roads because they are 4WD. And even if you get stuck, you can get out with three adults. LoL It's small, but it can carry a lot more than you'd think.

ALPINA and HONDA, wonderful collaboration.

I'm from Canada. They have been shipping those over here but only in 4x4. I'd love one just for messing around . Have fun with it

Lots of USN enlistees when homeport at Yokosuka buy JDM Kei Trucks from Yokohama. Most expensive thing is shipping. Used 90s Japanese truck will always be better than new Domestic

Honda's first commercially available car was a light truck with a 354cc inline 4-cylinder engine, but it was Japan's first mass-produced DOHC engine (2 valves per cylinder).
