With the Jimny being part of the next GT7 update we'll probably see a lot of cool liveries for it.
 
Even HE couldn‘t find one. :lol: That‘s cool he bought a used one. I really do have to get one.

I’m glad we can import these as soon as possible. I think the GR Copen are still waiting to be approved.
 
I haven't seen any imported into the UK sadly. There are a fair few S660s which have and are for sale, though they're annoyingly expensive.

Most kei cars I’m seeing at the moment are Honda N-One and Suzuki Spacia. They go for about $25,000AUD. A little more than a new Kia Picanto that can’t match the space available in the kei cars. However, there are a high influx of the JDM Toyota Corolla Fielder Hybrid(it’s a wagon from a few years ago). It’s of course not a kei car, but I wonder if the kei car sales will slow because of the versatility of that Corolla wagon(plus the Alphard is trending- crazy expensive though).
 
Yeah, some people I’ve met at car shows suggest I should run historic plates on my car. Heck no. I love to drive.
 
Sorry about double-posting, but there are more Kei-related news to share! The Suzuki Jimny lineup is set for expansion:


In addition to more engine choices it seems confirmed that the 3- and 5-door variants will be joined by a pickup. This could turn out to be a mix between the Sierra Pick-Up Style concept they displayed at TAS (first picture) and the Jimny utility (second picture) which is already sold on a BTO basis:

(and yes I know the non-JDM Jimny's technically wouldn't qualify as Kei cars, but maybe apart from the longer, 5-door XL they are close enough to be covered here IMHO)

Yeah, The five doors are all over the place where I live. We’ll see. With their kei car plans outside Japan and the next Jimny variants, they’re doing big things.
