Saw one of these downtown last night.

I can't see these being real popular in North America but I'd rather own one of these than a Smart car if I had to chose.

Japan gets some pretty cool vehicles.

Escargot is french for snail. Perhaps that's what they're aiming for. :dunno:

there was one i saw on deerfoot when people first started importing JDM cars about 2005, it had rims and was like dijon mustard yellow lol

also been seeing alot of those Suzuki Carry 660cc truckvans or whatever, hilarious to see these things on deerfoot top rpm just trying to accelerate to merge lol

I think I saw one at Sunridge Mall awhile ago; it's definitely unique and I'd give it a try, but I'm still surprised kei cars are licensed to drive on the highway.

Manufacturer MPG is pegged at 52mpg (clicky link), realistically 38mpg.... that's pretty awesome. Mind you the 72Hp is a good indication as to why.

There's one usually on/near the corner of 34th Ave. @ Mission Rd. S.W. (just West of MacLeod). It's in nice shape. I really do like that funny little car.
