- While on the job covering the third-generation Daihatsu Tanto, it seems that Nissan and Mitsubishi joined forces for a kei car that targets the new Tanto we're covering. Yes, the 2015 eK Space from Mitsubishi and 2015 Dayz Roox from Nissan are previewed and it's the second of the NMKV joint-venture since the Dayz and the eK Wagon earlier this year. Expect these two new kei height wagons to hit Japan 1st quarter next year.
