Combine an International Scout with a Volkswagen Thing and then drastically shrink the result in the wash to kei car dimensions and you end up with Daihatu’s basket concept. The flexible four-seater starts with a hard t-top above the front seats and a canvas top above the rear. It can then be turned into a number of layouts, including a two-seat trucklet with a partition between the cabin and the bed and an open-air cruiser. In a country where many families have just one car, this kind of flexibility could be valuable, particularly for a younger couple that doesn’t have kids.
