Daihatsu Copen

You wouldn't but your mother might

Uglier than a fight at a gipsys wedding ......

It's a good looking version of a TT - give it a break!




Er, well, perhaps not ......

[Podie]

I overheard someone at the show say "is that the StreetKa?"...

[beano1197]

...."NOT named Desire" ?

The front reminds me of the Jensen (he says, looking for a picture to back up these wild claims).

See?



(Apologies to Nick Whale for nicking their picture - it's the only one I could find with the front of a Jensen)

So was I the only one here that put my name down for more information?
For my girlfriend of course!

Looks like a squashed New Beetle. Probably goes like one as well.

You guys are nuts - it's cute! So it's not a sportscar: so what?

[JSG]

It reminds me of the Nissan Figaro import that was quite poular a few years back.

Hey its only meant to be a funny car for people like crusty the clown or women having a middle age crisis.

It'll sell a few (tens of thousands) and then be forgotten about for years to come, apart from when the middle age ladies get older and turn in to grannies and talk about their lovely Co-open or can-opener that they had when they were pretty young ladies.

Whatever happened to the Honda S600 they were talking about making a couple of years ago?

Similar sort of size as the Copen (ie Japanese Kei-Car size) with a soft top and a 120 bhp bike engine.

Now that would have been fun
