<< Images of some WAY-OUT (butchered!) Hiaces in Japan...

Andrew,


Whenever I look at traditional Japanese products, from tools to textiles to
teapots they are wonderfully sublime yet subtle.  Then I see something like
what you have pointed out and I have to wonder what in the hell happened to those
people.  It seems as if they are trying to steal the Done In Bad Taste title
from us Yanks.


The Hiace looks like a cool van.  I only wish we, too, had the chance to
consider one.
