Mitsubishi Toppo


The Mitsubishi Toppo is a light recreational vehicle produced by Mitsubishi Motors from 1990 until 2004, derived from their Minica kei car. The name is a portmanteau of the English "top" and the Japanese "noppo".
Originally named the Mitsubishi Minica Toppo, a retro-styled variant was introduced in 1996 called the Mitsubishi Minica Toppo Town Bee. In 1998 a new generation was launched; now referred to as the Mitsubishi Toppo BJ. A larger derivative, the Mitsubishi Toppo BJ Wide was introduced in 1999. The model was replaced by the new eK in 2001, although sold alongside the eK until being discontinued in 2004. The Toppo was reintroduced in 2008; now referred to as the Mitsubishi Toppo. In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Galant Shop.
