Cars you didn't know existed...

[Limpet]

Followed a Lexus IS250C earlier. Never seen one before, and had I not seen the badge, wouldn't have had a clue what it was. Appears to be a "Coupe Cabrio" version of the IS saloon.

They're rare and seemingly fairly unknown, I'll give you that. A couple of years ago I thought to myself 'I wonder if they do an IS coupe in other markets', knowing that Lexus are more popular in some overseas countries. After a couple of minutes research I realised they actually did a 'CC' here nevermind just abroad. I've probably seen a handful at most. I'm sure with a bit of work they'd have been decent cars and sold better. They can't have been any worse than the SC430, which appeared to sell in reasonable numbers.

I tried to start a topic on these a while ago: CLICK.

It was shuffled off into the Honda sub-forum, ne'er to be seen again.

I'm in India this week and they get a nice looking little Honda that I've never seen before - the Brio.



Also there seems to be a tendency to use "VD" as a model designation... although that seems to have escaped the Honda.

'Velly Deluxe'

I'm looking forward to the tie up with a well-known ballpoint pen manufacturer.

Surely a tie-in with wooden train sets makes more sense?

That Honda is nice but I'll have mine with both seats the same colour.

Mercedes-Benz C 111: The supercar that wasn’t

http://www.bbc.com/autos/story/20150512-mercedes-b...



wiki

'The C111 was a series of experimental automobiles produced by Mercedes-Benz in the 1960s and 1970s. The company was experimenting with new engine technologies, including wankel engines, Diesel engines, and turbochargers, and used the basic C111 platform as a testbed. Other experimental features included multi-link rear suspension, gullwing doors and a luxurious interior with leather trim and air conditioning'

H-M-Vehicles Free-way.

The H-M-Vehicles Free-Way (H-M meaning high mileage) was a three-wheel microcar manufactured in Burnsville, Minnesota, from 1979 to 1982.
These small commuter cars had a single seat and were powered by a 12 or 16 horsepower gasoline engine (345cc/453cc) or a 4 hp electric motor.

Around 700 were produced.
