I love that the world is loving kei trucks and kei cars right now. I see them pretty often in Australia which also has an anti yank-tank movement (tongue in cheek name for a big american "truck") That said our most popular cars are still all three tonne utes or SUVs so it's a small movement. You are right to note the economic situation being a big part of vehicle decisions. Fuel prices has been a driving force, and image plays a big part too.
