About Daihatsu - Wonderful Small

Daihatsu cars; they're small, they're green (even when painted white!) sometimes cute, cheap (inexpensive anyhow) and I have one.

Some bits of history -
1907 Hatsudoki Seizo Co., Ltd. established for the manufacture and sales of internal combustion engines.
1930 Production of 3-wheel vehicles begun.
1951 Company name changed to Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd

Some bits of news I like about them -
"2001 - Generation of direct-landfill waste from all domestic production plants (Japan) approached zero. (Daihatsu's definition : less than 1% of FY1990)"
"2002 - Intelligent Catalyst developed that self-regenerates its precious metal component."
