You got  to wonder what they were thinking when they carved the clay model. They just  slapped the big brick of clay down and  added wheels , stood back and said where done. Thats the look where looking for.

I see a cargo van that gets 50 MPG. Pretty sure that's what there going for. Vans are ugly, station wagons are cool.

I was looking at them in the Nippan showroom a few weeks back...fugly yes but maybe a good small family rig that kids can easily drive too?.

What I'd like to know is if it's available in other markets as RHD and if so does the D-Pillar move sides to stay in the blind spot of the driver?.

I think the youth market will love these and they will be the hottest thing this summer. I mean my youngest is going to do her test soon and now I have to find her a small car to go with, it's not like you can send a kid out in Toronto for a drivers test in a Deville, Fleetwood or Suburban and think nothing bad will happen.

In RHD models indeed the entire configuration is switched around. These are actually 11 years old in Japan. With the fuel situation as it is here in NA they just decided to bring them in now.

It's a commuter youth market car, Not for my tastes but I think they will sell a billion of these.

Older Japanese model RHD

These are horribly ugly.I saw some last night while driving by the dealer.

Now, if you had too choose, would you take one of these, or an AMC Pacer woody wagon? confuse

Well in today's market I would have to take the Pacer woody. The have a cult following. But I would take it just to sell it. Last month I bought a house to rent out and there was a pacer tail light in the shed some guy from Germany bought it on eBay

We have a lot of kids importing the Scion XB from the U.S. It's Toyota's youth brand. We just got confirmation Toyota will start selling Scion in Canada very soon. Rumour has it a Scion dealership is going up next door to us (same owners)..

"Canadian Pacer and Gremlin" has a nice ring to it.

73SC , I think your right about the youth market.  They will eat it up. I can see it with a couple of surf boards on top of it.
