Tokyo '09: Daihatsu's Pint-Sized Basket Concept

Seen by many as a modern-day Fiat 500 Jolli with a Japanese twist in it, the Basket is one of four new concept models unveiled by Daihatsu at the Tokyo Motor Show. The 3,395 mm long canvas-top Basket is based on the JDM Mira matching a 600cc 3-cylinder gasoline engine to a four-wheel drive system. Seating up to four people, the Basket's rear seats can be folded down turning the car into a miniature pick-up with a completely flat bed. Live shots after the break.

Tokyo '09: Daihatsu Deca Deca Mini MPV Concept

Making its world premiere at Daihatsu's Tokyo Motor Show stand alongside the Basket and e:S concept models is the Deca Deca. Measuring just 3,395mm (133.5-in.) in length, the odd-looking, boxy shaped mini MPV features a pair of pillar-less fold out doors on the passenger's side while the vehicle's simplistic interior is distinguished by the slim fold-away seats that can be arranged in numerous ways either to perform work inside the car or to increase the cargo area.

The Deca Deca is motivated by a three-cylinder turbocharged engine that drives the front wheels through a CVT.
