seat. A four-seat Yugo, for example, boasted a $3990 price in the mid-80s, just slightly more than the Zipper. Mitsuoka does still manufacture microcars in Japan, currently with four wheels and very different styling. Little Giant Built upon the same 50 cc Honda motorcycle engine as the Zipper but otherwise not resembling it at all, the Zoe Little Giant was a truck, advertised as a "all purpose mini-utility truck" and similar to the baggage carts seen at airports but smaller. According to Zoe sales literature, it had a payload of half a ton. With an open doorless cab, it was unsuitable for street driving. It sold for about $6000 and was released at roughly the same time as the Zipper. Company information At the time of the Zoe Zipper launch, Zoe was headed by president and chairman James MacPherson. Dan Levitan, formerly of Dollar Rent-a-Car, was executive vice president. Public relations were handled by the Joseph Molina company, which specialises in the automotive and motorsports with clients such as Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini.
