Mitusoka Galue-I, but I think the Bentley addenda are not original.
Good knowledge.

They do all sorts of odd ball stuff. They make a Nissan March (Micra) in to a mark 2 Jag look a like, in to Wolsey's, modify MX5's and all sort. The Japanese have some odd tastes...
Google "Mitsuoka Orochi". I'd be fascinated to know people's opinions!
)Personally i like it, it's not going to be mistaken for anything else and it's a coherent overall shape.
Better looking than a P1 by miles.

I saw tons of those in Dublin when I was working over there last year. Another car I saw several of there that I'd not heard of before was the Nissan Tiida:
Both of them fairly unattractive bland lumps of metal IMHO.
There's a Nissan Tiida parked near my house. Arnold Clark imported quite a few from Ireland to Scotland. They are quite odd looking. Slightly better looking is the hatchback version which I have also seen on the road here.Both of them fairly unattractive bland lumps of metal IMHO.

Had the pleasure of being driven round one of these in Kyoto, Japan when I was there about 10 years ago. Strangely enough it had a fold down seat attached to the passenger seat that a 5th person could sit on (legally) turning into a 3 up front 3 in the back taxi. Of course I don't think it was designed for my rather larger western frame and the driver ended up sitting at a 45 degree angle and driving one handed. Thankfully an automatic.
He got a good tip.
(don't pick up six western chaps and expect them to fit!)
I give you the Nissan Cedric.

Ah sir, you like the Nissan Figaro and Aston Martin DB5 but cant decide which one to buy????I think you'll be very happy with our new car.
A Cheviva? Or a Vivette?
Incredibly someone within the GM empire decided to graft the back end of a Chevette on to the front end of a Viva, to create the Chevrolet 1300 hatch - for South Africa only. You can still see the join in the roof! I've been a GM fan for many years but I never knew this existed until recently.
Why on earth? ..... why didn't they just sell a Chevette?
