US gov banned this cuz manufacturers here can’t compete these cars. I wish they lift that up for more competition so people don’t have to spend 50k+ for utility car.
It's because our government is run by corporate puppets. The big plastic school zone repainter 5000s with 400 standard features they charge 10,000 extra dollars for that nobody uses are easier scalp every last cent out of people with.
There are a lot of them in other countries like here in the DR. The Chinese one are very popular because they are the cheapest and they are hell coming-proof. The Japanese ones are more expensive, being the more popular the ones made by Daihatsu.
They need to stop with the full sized EVs and start with these functional small commuters. Imagine if instead of the the giant ford lightning you could have an electric Kei truck that has a longer range and charges faster.
They made a 6-seat version of this, and I believe they shared the same body with Suzuki, it's very practical, and I wish they had made an 80 HP of this, it would have been the ultimate small utility car.
This and the Mitsu Delica I would completely consider purchasing. That rear-mounted “Clover-4” engine gives me Volkswagen/Porsche vibes and I love it even more for that folding floor “feature”. Man Japan kept all the cool stuff to themselves and that side of the world apparently
Sambar means grab aggressively in malay, its like an eagle grab their prey aggressively, that is what SAMBAR mean in malay, ik it just a coincidence but i just want to say it, ik that ppl didn't cares but like im said i just wanna say it😂
I remember, that in british Top Gear, Clarkson, May and Hammond had to buy some used vans and complete some challenges. There was one to compare which van is the fastest on racetrack. Hammond had some van like this one. He was the fastest on the straight line after the start, but ,sadly, toppled over in first turn ☹️
It hurts my heart and my brain when I think about how these aren't popular over here, I just glanced at Google and it says they need to be at least 25 years old to be imported, i mean I don't mind an older car but I want nothing more than to be able to buy one from a dealer and drive it home
These vans were popular in Israel until the late 1980's, along with the Suzuki brand which looked almost the same. There was also a pickup version. Later, Kia began marketing a larger version of this van, mostly as a pickup. This configuration is not very popular, probably because of its front cabin lacking the classical front engine compartment and hence the lack of a crumple zone which protects us during an impact.
In japan these things are colloquially known as "農道のポルシェ" the "porsche of the farm roads!" (since its RR) I own one of these, in ivy green too, but the 2WD, non SC version. I've never seen a SC one in person. Love it to death! Easy to work on, fun to drive. The post 2009 sambars are just rebadged daihatsu hijets, so make sure to get one of the subaru ones before they're gone!
My neighbor has one unfortunately DMV will not title it and insurance will not insure it so its useless check local laws they are banned everywhere now
I saw one of these for sale in Detroit last year. It was such an odd looking thing so I had to take a look. It was a faded blue 1994 Sambar with a giant sunroof window and only 13,000km. I think they were asking $10,900
put four independent ATV tracks on this and it would make an awesome Snow machine. I wish these were cheap in Canada. Big money, taxes, duties, custom fees, broker fees...etc, make it uneconomical to purchase to import into Canada. You do see the odd ISUSU in Canada.
Someone finally invented my car bed. I came up with that almost exact solution when I was 10. I don't care if people believe me and I don't want anything. That turned out cooler than I had pictured. :)
How does the oil stay in it with the head and filler cap pointing sideways. How do you get an accurate reading with the dipstick with the laws of gravity? Some special design.
GM or Ford should make a business car that is not luxurious and smaller than an SUV, but is cheap enough that even poor people can buy it, has a simple mechanism that is unlikely to break down, is safe, and has minimal maintenance costs. People who cannot do without a car for work can reduce the cost of their car, which increases profits and gives them money to invest in other areas. It will be good for the American economy.
@@battles.digitalgrowing up in the 80s and early 90s many cars I rode in didn't even have rear headrests. Fortunately I was shorter than the back of the seat at the time.
SUPERCHARGED ............................ 64hp.
at least he tried 🥹
stats went all in on torque 🗿
It’s to meet Kei car regulations in Japan. They all gotta be that or less.
Which is still 64hp more than your bicycle 😂😂
It's also super light
Imagine if you told your friend you just bought a rear-engine, supercharged, all-wheel drive, 5-speed manual Subaru, and this car showed up.

My neighbor across the street has one and it looks super cool. Too bad he’s an asshole.
hahahaha
Too bad, indeed.
He has too. Those old kei car are baby. One time my friend let someone drove his Daihatsu copen L880k almost ruin the engine.
He might be an ass but he surely knows about cars
These tiny cars are the most car we all need.
Yeah that guy sucks
I love all cars honestly, so much choice
same... unless they are electric ☺️
This is a beautiful comment 😢

I’m a fan of nearly everything in the automotive world, myself.

This definitely checks all the boxes!

Something about a green Kei van!
Wish companies made more stuff like this. I think a small electric van with this cars functions would be awesome.
It would be pretty neat. I’d love to see how an EV conversion company would make use of the space in the back.
long life to the combustion engine

I don’t think it’s exactly the same, but they are very practical.
Kei cars can only legally seat 4 by Japanese law. It's probably a different model you're thinking of.
@@ItchyKneeSon yes, it’s the same body design but a different interior, we have it here in Syria as a 6-seater car

That would bug me relentlessly

It really is. I bet you could convert the back to a camping setup for next to nothing
Omg that's almost all mpv in south east Asia ...minus the supercharger
The supercharger is the option to have!
For short to medium road trips in small citys perfect long drives big citys hell nah

Imma have to buy one 😊

But is it street legal in the USA ?
In most states currently, yes!

Same here! Auto makers used to have so much more style!
You got yourself a powerful machine there!

These do 1000x more work than the abominable truck parodies that people use in America.
The fact that it's a Subaru and doesn't have a boxer motor seems sacrilegious

Smoothie hubcaps, ha, we call those moons son.
Becase it has engine in the back and supercharged, Samber has a nickname of "Porche of farm road" here in Japan.
I really like this K car it seems very versatile and the motor smells like it could do more than 64 with some simple under the hood Tom foolery.
I see these zipping surprisingly quick at the air force base near me, they use kei vehicles a lot
