> They'd sell well here.

I'd love to agree because I like kei cars and small cars in general, but I don't think they would. These cars on US roads would be dwarfed by SUVs and pickups, and Americans have voted with their wallets that they don't want small cars, which is why manufacturers have almost uniformly stopped making them (most don't even make regular mid-size sedans anymore).



I think cars are now so expensive that a small car, van, or truck that was like half as expensive but high utility would sell well.
