To be honest, I used to scoff at Kei-Cars when I was younger, but modern Kei-Cars are packed with features to help avoid accidents, have a spacious interior, and are very comfortable to ride. I now think that Kei-Cars are a standard that Japan should be proud of.
Recently, Japanese Kei-Cars seem to be attracting attention in Europe and the United States, but at present Japanese automakers are unable to export Kei-Cars. This is probably due to the laws of each country. For example, in some states in the United States, cars are allowed to be driven on public roads, but only used cars (classified as classic cars) that are more than 25 years old can be bought and sold.

Enjoyed this, as always.
Thank you, as always.
Great shots, Akira!
I’ve always wanted a k-tora. We do farming, and it would help to haul things around. Kind of hard with only bicycles, but we manage.
Wow, it's tough when you only have a bicycle. K-Tora are called the "Porsche of farm roads" by Japanese farmers. (^O^)
Ha ha! I never knew that❣️🛻
Such a car would also make more sense in European cities than SUVs.
Countries like the UK, France and Italy once produced many attractive small cars, but unfortunately they are a thing of the past.
Now I want one but I doubt they are sold outside Japan😄

I'm not in the US but regulations are different according to each country. Smaller cars would be more economical and less hazardous on roads.
