  What a miserable review! Name a car that isn't "1 BOX" -- unless it got stuck on a level crossing and cut in half by a train. Really, this man talks BS. But I shall subscribe in case he tells of wonders of rural life. He entirely fails to mention engine size, performance in town and countryside, transmission systems, MPG, emissions and is plain misleading about the Toyota. It is a 'mild hybrid', designed to supply extra power from an electric motor to smooth out some of the drawbacks of high revving low cc engines. MPG advantages are not significant but ride quality certainly is without making the suspension expensive. Tested in Nordic countries and the UK, the Spacia is deemed to have moderate off road capabilities and abilities in snow which many a grandiose EV SUV would fail in. Indeed, the presenter fails to show rear seat folding increasing boot/trunk space on all but one the cars. Manufacturers in north west Europe only seem to offer SUVs and 'executive cars' at silly prices and Asia is trouncing our motor industry -- rightly, because it forgot about real people and forgot about what private motor transport actually is. Asian attitudes are different and automotive economists a decade ago predicted that there would be a single generation of pure EVs only, followed by hybrids using the same body dies (naturally saving a lot in weight, battery costs and disposal) then some EVs would be made for strict urban utility use. Hybrids in the Report (commissioned by Japan, S.Korea, China and some BRICS funds) factored in colored hydrogen IC hybrids mainly on a Toyota set of patents licensed to China and S.Korea and the latter two countries are experimenting with ammonia as a fuel. GAC Group, China is 50% owned by Toyota and research into ammonia engines takes advantage of China's ammonia manufacturing targeted to be green, even where using the Haber-Bosch process -- which itself is being phased out. Ammonia engines favor haulage, plant and locomotive power units more than cars at present. The popular argument that supplying filling stations with 'new fuels' is fallacious because it is a matter of will, demand and supply and minor modifications to road tankers in the case of gaseous hydrogen. The fact that hydrogen is a by product of many industrial processes at scale would more than pay for refrigerated tankers from the point of production. Hydrogen fuel cell storage dates back to the 1930s in Japan and appears to be a separate development by Toyota Group for performance vehicles. Perhaps hydrogen fuel cells will find a place in KEI cars using the swap system in due course.

  In Japan they call these type cars one box for cars that look like a box. There are small ones like kei cars and big ones like Toyota and Honda have. I don't know what BS I was talking. It was not a review of the cars it was more a look at what the 5 best selling kei cars were. The hybrid systems in these cars is nothing like in the Toyota's. We have a Suzuki Solio it has a 1.2 engine in it the battery is under the front seat it's tiny they don't have an electric motor like the Prius. I hope this clears up a few points for you. I don't want to get into a fight over this. I have enough problems at the moment with a sick wife looking after her taking her to the hospital and doctors is draining me.

  Australia is way out of hope now. The Australian dream is dead. I think the first house I bought in Australia cost a bit over 20,000 now I think it’s worth over 300,000. When we were building the house the house company found the bank the interest is fixed for the term of the loan. I think it is just over 2% so the loan repayments never change. The loan is in my name I was teaching English at the time and had a full time job.

  I’m no expert on the subject, but in my opinion, Japan’s issue on this front is rather unique. On one hand, it’s a rich, developed country where both men and women no longer need to be with someone to ensure a better standard of living, and they will be just fine on their own. This brings a certain freedom of choice. On the other hand, it’s a very traditionalist society where individuals aren’t allowed to define what their relationship or marriage is going to be like. It’s not necessary to give away one's freedom or all your money to your spouse. Everything is a matter of choice for each couple individually (in the West). Personally, I believe this is the problem. It’s not that they don’t want to get involved with someone; they just don’t want that under the conditions set by a society that isn’t going to change anytime soon. P.S. I’m in my early 30s and married. My husband doesn’t forward his salary to me, and I don’t feel like I can’t go somewhere on my own. We are both happy with that.
