I believe the thinking was something along the lines of "Japanese Kei cars are allowed to be Xm by Xm in size. So let's make one that's precisely that big. There we go, done!" ;D (Hence the Nissan Cube, Toyota dB and Suzuki Wagon-R)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kei_car

(I think that's the largest classification of car you're allowed to own within Tokyo without a parking permit - if you have a parking permit it supersedes this as the permit specifies the size of car you're allowed to own..)
