7 facts about strange Japanese cars, or on what the Japanese themselves travel

Today, Japanese cars can be found all over the world. That's just the absolute majority of these models today is unlikely to see in Japan itself, but all because they are produced exclusively for the external market. Themselves, the Japanese ride on other cars produced by the same eminent companies, but only for domestic consumption.

1. Size matters
   
   Once in Japan, you can see that a significant proportion of cars used by the population have small dimensions. Small cars are in great demand here for obvious reasons: the cities are densely populated, there is not enough space, and therefore the compactness and maneuverability of transport here are at a special price.

2. The family is not without a black sheep
   
   It is curious that the Japanese car industry fully satisfies the population's need for affordable cars. On the roads here you can see all the familiar brands: Nissan, Honda, Toyota, Suzuki. That's just these machines, created exclusively for domestic consumption and by the way, do not differ in the refinement of forms.

3. Key-Car
   
   Key-Car is a mixture of a small van and a car. Machines of this kind are in unprecedented demand and popularity. They have a low engine power, sufficient capacity for the majority of Japanese capacity, and most importantly - very economical.

4. Parking for the elect
   
   With parking in Japan everything is very interesting and tough. A person will not be sold a car until he provides a certificate of renting a parking space. This rule does not apply to the already mentioned Key-Car.

5. A car for the whole family
   
   In each country it is possible to single out a "national family car", which is in greatest demand among the population. In Japan, this is not a station wagon or a crossover, but this is the minibus in which an entire family can be easily placed.

6. The price is red
   
   If you go to the Japanese auto show to buy a car, you can be horrified by the price tags that are posted on billboards. In fact, all these prices have little to do with the Japanese reality. On average, a supported car is bought here for 3-4 thousand US dollars.

7. Attack of the Clones
   
   Another interesting feature of the Japanese automotive market is that inside most cars, especially key cars, are just a copy of each other. In this case, it does not matter which manufacturer made this or that model.

All this looks rather strange, because the Japanese used to like great things very much. Take at least the battleships of the Yamato class, with the help of which Japan dreamed of defeating America at sea, which, however, did not help the country in any way.
