1983 Mitsubishi Cordia
I can only assume that Mitsubishi engineers of the '70s and '80s believed that's how people in the west look? With the extraordinary Roman nose.
And the 90's/00's! FTO, Galant and Legnums all had a slightly smaller representation of the same man on the Climate control panel. (including nose)I can only assume that Mitsubishi engineers of the '70s and '80s believed that's how people in the west look? With the extraordinary Roman nose.
I loved my Corvette C4 with it's interchangebale imperial/metric switching:
Had a GTE 16v after but it wasn't anything like as expansive.
Had orange digital figures inside round dials in a recent Citroen C4 hire car - rubbish to be honest thugh the old revolving yellow drum "digital" speedo on the GSA and CX made your eyes go funny.

Wasn't the MG Maestro the first in the UK to get a digital dash? about 1983?
Wasn't that spectacular iirc, just different. And it had the annoying voice to go with it. Nice induction roar from the weber carb (s?) though on the early models before they squeezed in the 2 litre lump and went back to conventional dials.

I remember my dad looking round one at a motor show when they were just put on sale.Wasn't that spectacular iirc, just different. And it had the annoying voice to go with it.
He turned on the ignition and the car announced "Warning! something something something", the speech was terrible, and to the embaracement of the salesman, my sister turned to him and said "Morning? What does it say in the afternoon?"
