I'd heard of the Mitsuoka, namely the Micra based one and the Orochi supercar, but this is a new one on me; the Ryoga, I assume from it's size it's based on the Primera, rear end is a particualy ugly highlight.

Oooof that is shocking! Might be better in the 'Horrors in the classifieds' thread.

Ford focus ish size.
3 cylinder turbo

And, judging by the overhang, the bonnet from whatever the next bigger model in the range is.

Their naming convention appears to be based on what Fred Flintstone would say when hit hard on the head just prior to passing out.

I did see a couple of those outside a car dealership somewhere in Surrey (I was a visiting northerner, can't remember where it was now) . I Googled (and forgot about it) at the time, but if I remember right it's based on an MX-5?

I've found myself on a Japan used car site, I think I want a Rock Star, although it definitely needs pop up lights. Nearly £50k though, bit pricey perhaps.

At that price you could get an actual C2 Corvette (ropey wheels not withstanding).

Mitsuoka are a bit hit and miss with their styling. I do like their Buddy which is based on a RAV4.
