I loved these little boxy cars when I was in Japan. I'm all for this!
I just want something akin to my late Honda Element. Loved that vehicle. (Even if it was a pain to work on!)
They refuse to make another like it!
I see a lot of boxy cars like that which seem to be Japan-only! I'd like to see more come here. (Maybe they could upsize a tiny bit for the REALLY long drives in the U.S haha.)
Unfortunately, thank CAFE regulations. It's basically impossible to make a tall boxy car in the US that meet the regulations, because fuel efficiency targets are based almost purely on how long and wide the car is. It's way easier to make a car bigger than it is to make it more fuel efficient, so unfortunately that's what manufactures have to target.
While I'm all for efficiency regulations, CAFE is so unbelievably stupid that it desperately needs to be reworked.
