Also, in Tokyo, before you can purchase a car, I believe you'll need proof that you have a parking slot at home. A pick-up will eat a lot of space. It is for this reason that compact and sub-compacts are all the craze there...

Pick-ups are definitely not popular in Japan. Because most japanese and foreign residents here can afford to buy an SUV, 4WD or a closed van (Hiace, Bonggo, etc), there is very little market for the pickup except perhaps those living in the boondocks or those in Hokkaido.
The Daihatsu Hijet and Suzuki Every pickups are mostly owned by farmers or fishermen. These puny pickups also have a 4WD variant.
vicokyski,
Yes, its true that car dealers will not sell you any vehicle without a valid parking space for it. Fortunately for me, i had a garage at home that made it easy to buy a mini-van.
This IMV that's being discussed will not reach Japan shores. There is no market for them here. These AUVs have been designed and built for South East Asia.Last edited by gaijin; March 29th, 2005 at 09:44 AM.
