I've have gotten a lot of stares, waves, thumbs up
and a host of questions and comments as well...

Is it really fast?

Is that a baby hummer?

Is it a concept car?

Oh my god. No car should be that square!

Is that mini-cooper truck?

Is it a 4WD mini SUV?

Reminds me of an old British car.

Looks like a Lapin Spiano.

Kinda looks cool in a retro sort of way.

My favorite was at the gas station where a guy was asking general question
while filling up his huge SUV. He was shocked when I told him it gets up to 34 MPG.
I said ...
“Yeah… not bad for a square car. Just think how much better it would be
if they made it aerodynamic.”

That Lapin Spiano thing looks really cool! I would LOVE to have one - that'd be so f-ing sweet - I've got a 60' Chevy Truck and that would be perfect to sit between my HL and my Truck! :D

I agree, the Lapin Spiano is a very cool looking box.
Sort of like an old Ganster car.

It wouldnt be too hard to make the xB look like it though...

Taken from Autoindex.org
Info: Alto Lapin was released in January 2002, and soon proved its popularity among female consumers. Sales of the vehicle have surpassed the Wagon R (Suzuki’s best-selling model) level in recent months. The box-shaped minivehicle features a roomy interior and is equipped with specially designed parts in both exterior and interior, which are similar to household appliances or furniture which evoke the image of daily life.
