Yep the Japanese legal system encourages these things simply because of the width (or lack of it) which makes them great inner city delivery vehicles.
The fuel economy is not all that great by the way since the engine must work hard to transport what little they can manage to carry and the gearing makes sure they are reasonably quick off the line but have a limited top speed.
Oh yeah one final point...do NOT try and make a quick turn in one or you may find out about limited suspension travel and a high centre of gravity!
