What would a new model launch in Japan be without a big campaign and cute, limited edition trinkets you can’t get anywhere else to lure you into the dealerships? The Exiga Debut Fair goes from June 21 to 22 in dealerships throughout Japan, where you can get your hands on these plush Exigas and possibly win a trip to Tokyo Disneyland.
