Kei cars

Milyen poén lehet ilyen kisautókkal mászkálni a városban, ráadásul környezetkímélőbbek is a normál társaiknál és kevesebb helyet is használnak … 
 
Kei car (K-car), also called keijidōsha (in Japanese: 軽自動車 light motor vehicle), is a Japanese category of small automobiles, including passenger cars, vans and pickup trucks. They are designed to exploit local tax and insurance relaxations, and are exempted from the requirement to certify that adequate parking is available for the vehicle. These standards originated in the times following the end of the Second World War, when most Japanese could not afford a full-sized car yet had enough to buy a motorcycle.
To promote the growth of the car industry, as well as to offer an
alternative delivery method to small business and shop owners, Kei car
standards were created.

The cars feature yellow licence plates,
earning them the name "yellow-plate cars" in English-speaking circles
(black numbers on yellow background for private use and yellow numbers
on black background for commercial use).

Because the regulations only restrict physical size and engine
power, manufacturers have introduced many advanced technologies to the
class. As a result, kei cars are often available with forced induction engines, automatic and CVT transmissions, front-, rear- and four-wheel drive, hybrid drivetrains, air conditioning, GPS and many other features.
