I wonder if it was the same designer..? Rust Collector and Austat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be pedantic, the first German-built Leopard tanks entered service in the mid-60s. Presumably the allies were OK with it as long as they were pointing East. chaseracer and timolloyd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As that Germany had joined NATO in 1955, I'd imagine that was all part of it! chaseracer and cort1977 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarmonicCheeseburger Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Daihatsu TA-X80 Quote Two crucial things happened in early 1987. One, I was born, which is important for this story to exist. Two, the Daihatsu TA-X80 was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. Daihatsu still rolls out good stuff at what’s now called the Tokyo Auto Salon, rocking up in recent years with an array of kei cars cute enough to make you lose your actual mind. But back in the late ’80s, the combination of a threat of nuclear water and an asset price bubble that made people rich in Japan turned Daihatsu’s ambitions more seductive. Quote The TA-X80, sadly, didn’t really feed into anything. It just appeared like a beautiful, bubbly mayfly and then was gone from the Daihatsu concept library in favor of things it might actually sell. Now, Daihatsu makes adorable tiny vans and kei cars—and while the TA-X80 wasn’t exactly big at 153 inches long—it is definitely a few sizes up on most of its 2021 siblings. Quote Still, just look at it. Think of the sunset streaking pink across the sky, all 128 horsepower from its 1.0-liter, turbocharged V6 stretching like the shadows down the open road, the radio crackling to life in what passed for an infotainment deck back then, and an ’80s classic fills the interior as we drive into the night.
