Somewhere around Shibuya, our friend Kuroneko has captured a shot of the rare and wondrous Daihatsu X (not its real name). It’s like a Honda Gyro crossbred with some sort of cub. Unfortunately I don’t have a model name or any specs on this since it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it. Anyone know? No one should count Daihatsu out… they’ve still got some pretty innovative tricks up their sleeve. Mudmaster-C anyone? And how about their cool little coupe?

Interesting. I’m surprised that it has the same name as their 2 wheeled cub. I figured they would have named it something different.
Those Midgets are funky, but cool.
Oh, and thanks for the extra images Tim! Good one!

I have a Daihatsu “Hallo” I’ve owned it for over ten years now and take it out once in a while. This is the electric version. Sure gets a lot of looks!
