From the fine folks over at Carscoop comes word of another disturbing wave of auto related cuteness from Japan (that should be a whole category unto itself, huh).
What we have here is something inexplicably odd. Japan’s knack for taking anything and making it as small, non-threatening and cartoonishly cute is well known. They also have a knack for applying it to vehicles in astonishing ways, like Dekotora trucks and whatnot. What makes this latest installment so odd that the chosen form of expression is, of all things, mid-1970s vans and Suburbans.
What?!
Yes, I know, space is limited in Japan, but I doubt this is a byproduct of a new found love for rides preferred by Dirk Diggler and Reed Rothchild.
On the plus side, there’s a reassuring lack of shag and 8-tracks in the interior, but on the downside, the exteriors are too close ascetic avenues that were best left unexplored, let alone revived.
There’s more photographic evidence of these, er, cute/revolting things after the jump.
