What are these Japanese cars and why are they so common?

The number one demand for cars is for transporting shit these days, insurance and stuff is so expensive that it's completely infeasible for anyone but the mega-rich to own something like a sports car, even a 30 year old one. Costs even get higher the older a car is, so most cars older than 5 years are scrapped.

Every time I see one of these hideous box cars, I want to die.

tl;dr these boxy cars are called kei jidosha, which essentially means light car.

they all less expensive to insure, and the tax is cheaper. they get a special license plate too. in order to meet the requirements they can only have a certain engine size, like 600cc or something. and there is a maximum size.

people still drive regular cars though and you;ll see plenty. recently there has been talk of taking away the special tax break because its hurting domestic sales of regular cars.
