I imagine Honk Kong Phooey going through the filing cabinet, ironing board, dumpster and landing in that.

Icon 4x4 have restomodded a few different models of Land Cruiser, they did one for Joe Rogan https://www.off-road.com/blog/2019/04/23/icon-buil...
They usually do versions of older cars like Broncos and FJs.

It's their luxury model, complementing the more utilitarian versions you're familiar with. Still a very capable offroader. It's large and heavy (the one in the photo could be had with a 4-litre straight 6 diesel, later ones had a v8), not so popular in Europe these days.
Icon do great stuff but the ones I really like are the restomodded Dodge Power Wagons from Legacy:

Fabulous things but fabulous prices too.

I was following a Mercedes EQC400 4matic today, apparently it’s some kind of electric compact SUV.
God knows what the “but the badge doesn’t represent the displacement” weirdos will make of a car that doesn’t even have a combustion engine
To be fair, they do actually produce 400bhpGod knows what the “but the badge doesn’t represent the displacement” weirdos will make of a car that doesn’t even have a combustion engine
Never knew British Leyland foisted the dire Marina on the poor Americans and Canadians. Labelled "Austin" Marina as the brand still held cachet with US customers because of the Healey, the federalised Marina was apparently awful in every way - outdated before launch, feebly underpowered and unreliable. Still, they shifted 23,000 of them!
No pic unfortunately but saw an odd ,presumably JDM Toyota Yaris Verso recently .
It had a retro look front end and what sticks in my mind is the look of a Frogeye Sprite headlights .
It could have been a Toyota Funcargo as I saw possibly same car 1/2 hour later but only from behind and checked it on DVLA
where it is registered as a Suncargo ,which doesn't exist but I couldn't find a pic on the web of any of these.
Any JDM experts have any info on this ?

My first thought for Japanese retro was Mitsuoka, googled Mitsuoka Yaris Verso and got this, which isn't a Mitsuoka, it's a Modellista, one of Toyota's aftermarket tuning/styling divisions...It had a retro look front end and what sticks in my mind is the look of a Frogeye Sprite headlights .

It matches up to what you said with the Sprite style headlights.
