Boxes We Don't Get In The US

It's been a few years since I sold my Scion xB, but I still love boxy cars.  The quirky Japanese utilitarian design just isn't like anything else you see on US roads... 

The Scion xB paved the way for some other unique imports after it sold better than expected- the Honda Fit, Nissan Cube, and even a few copies from the American manufacturers.  But we still got cheated out of some really neat boxy cars over here!  Just take a look at these:

Toyota

Honda
Suzuki
Daihatsu

This is a body kit made for the Suzuki Lapin- it gives the car a classic station wagon/ Scout look!

Unfortunately, we'll never see any of these over here, thanks to little details like "Crash Standards" and "Public Opinion"...  what a gyp!
