Vehicle of the Week: Toyota Ractis

Welcome to the first edition of Vehicle of the Week. There are plenty of cars in the city I've never seen before. Some are just variations of vehicles the Japanese companies make for the American market. Others you can only get here or in other parts of Asia. They tend toward smaller models than we're used to, which makes sense because the streets can be tiny, and the people who drive the cars are smaller than most Americans.



This model is the Toyota Ractis, and you can only get it in Asia right now. There are lots of teensy SUV style types around; I think this is the most sporty-looking. Note the location of the rear wheels. They drive on the left here, so the steering wheel location is the reverse of ours.
