DoctorRetro Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 We've probably all heard of or at least seen the Mitsuoka Viewt, but have you taken a moment to feast your eyes on the full range? https://www.mitsuoka-motor.com/global/lineup/ The back catalogue reveals a few more stunners* The latest version of this one is basically a Riley Elf version of the Perodua Kelisa! This one is merely a concept, but could actually be quite good. Presumably MX5 based...

Bitzer Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 No. Just no. According to their website, in 2019, they "Received a letter of appreciation from the University of Tokyo, Gravitational Wave Observation Research Facility of the Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, for cooperation in the construction of the Large-scale Cryogenic Graviationai wave Telescope Project also known as "KAGRA". Could you, please, continue with Large-scale Cryogenic Graviationai wave Telescopes and refrain from designing cars?

CreepingJesus Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I wouldn't necessarily buy one, but I do admire the fact that it's a whole business built out of looking at a perfectly ordinary car and thinking 'what if...?'. And then carrying it out, and then finding people who will buy the results. Crackers, Leyland Worldmaster, Dan_ZTT and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably what saved Nissan from that period of the late 2000s where they were making nothing that was selling well.

A car maker's gotta do what a car maker's gotta do, if there's a massive global corporation at stake: I'm just glad there's a place for the dreamers and oddballs.

GeordieInExile Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I saw the thread title and immediately got excited that some lunatic on here had actually gone and bought one of these things.

ETCHY Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 The Viewt was available on the K11 & K12 Micra platforms. I rather like the K11 based one. They might look a bit daft but I think they're rather cool in their own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BL Bloke Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I rather like the Riley Elf-esque Ray, shame it doesn't have an illuminated Mitsuoka badge like Wolseleys used to have but I suppose they're illegal these days. Looking at this I wonder what my Saxo would look like wearing one of the VP1500 grilles that I've got in the garage? eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
