Vehicle of the Week: Faux Volks



This week's honoree is a customized keicar, built to resemble an old-style Volkswagen bus. It seems to be a modified Daihatsu Hijet microvan. The "Tournage" logo on the front of the van lends it some French flair. So, what we have here, in essence, is a Japanese microvan trying to look German while saying it's French. But for cuteness, if nothing else, it deserves its moment in the spotlight.

Hi there,
I enjoyed your blog! I'm a reporter writing a story for the International Herald Tribune about expats and holidays. I would love to hear about your experiences in Japan! I didn't see an e-mail address on line, but if you are up for a brief interview, you can e-mail me at roxana dot popescu at gmail dot com. Thanks!
