Tiny Cars Are Huge in Japan

Driving in this town sucks. The traffic is horrible, gas is astronomically expensive and just try to find parking. This explains why the Japanese love their tiny Kei cars.

The Kei cars is the future of transportation, and if the Big Three survive they should start cranking them out here in America.
