There’s one that cruises around our test site down in the Bahamas that I see regularly. I think it was actually made by Toyota or something.

They made an electric version that they showed at NAIAS, during one of the years that I was able to go. It was so tiny!

Those headlights look Alfa inspired.

Not sure if you meant Subaru kei cars were new thing to you or just the R1 but in the case of former I think you need to know about the supercharged Vivio RXR.

Yup, that’s the smaller R1, Subie made the R2 kei as well!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_R2

...the R2 of which was named after the Subaru R-2 , which was Subaru’s second kei car, a follow-up to their very first kei car, the Subaru 360 !

There was also the Subaru Rex , Subaru Vivio and Subaru Pleo keis in the 80s and 90s as well!

Always thought that was one of the better looking (non sports) keis.
