A couple of weeks ago, a discussion in the comments reminded me of this DFSK van I saw at the 2012 CV Show in Birmingham, England. Since then, I’ve found myself with a renewed fascination with Asian micro-vehicles. Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for…
