Frankly, I wish Japanese auto makers could (or would) import kei cars to the US. Some of those little buggers are kick ass. I drove a Honda Beat and a Suzuki Cappuccino when I was living in Japan and they were great cars.

For those that don't know:

Personally, I think they'd make a great choice as urban runabouts. Most people don't use more than 60hp anyways, and there's a certain simplicity (no expensive injection or emissions system like a diesel would have, no hybrid drive) to them that many would find appealing.

I'd certainly buy one, if for no other reason than it'd be good to have during the one-third of the year the bicycling doesn't work. ]]>Feb 13th 2008 10:06AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/13/geneva-08-preview-production-toyota-iq-urban-cruiser-revealed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/13/geneva-08-preview-production-toyota-iq-urban-cruiser-revealed/Feb 13th 2008 12:14PM
