More proof that the obsession in America with all things Japan has infiltrated the design field comes in the form of this new concept vehicle by industrial designer Seyhan Sitti. The three-wheeled Dune Buggy is called the Kawaii ("cute" in Japanese) and the beetle-esque vehicle would probably do quite well in the land of Hello Kitty and Doraemon. Built for two people, the tiny vehicle would never make it on the giant SUV plagued streets of the US, but we wouldn't be surprised to see something like this on the streets of Tokyo very soon.
