It used to be that Toyota left the kei car minivehicle market to its Daihatsu division, but no more: Today saw the Japanese launch of the first passenger minivehicle to be sold under the Toyota brand. It’s called the “Pixis Space” and putters along on a 40 cubic inch engine.
The Pixis Space goes on sale for between 1,120,000 and 1,611,000 yen ($14,670 to $21,100). The latter version comes with four wheel drive and an intercooler-equipped turbo-charged 40 cubic inch engine – in case you want to let the other guys eat Pixies dust. The car is built by Daihatsu for Toyota.

A powerhouse compared to the first Deux Chevaux 425cc, and bigger than the '68 and after (602cc). http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2009/07/review-1975-citroen-2cv/ bring it on!

40 cu. in. is a hair less than the 660 ml that is the statutory maximum for a Kei car.
Holy crap, it's a Mary Kay Commando Assault vehicle!
