A sighting from my trip to Japan a year ago..
who ever knew after the Tribeca, Subaru could actually make good looking cars...
...no wait, that wasn't right, was it?

Wow, the blacked-out wheels look pretty good on that. Very old-school Bentley...1920s old school.

Yeah sorry I haven't posted for a while, my phone is broken and is still in the shop.
When I get it back I'll try starting up again.
If I can find anything new to photograph.

I was going to utter a snappy one-liner to ridicule Mitsuoka for the car's resemblance to the Jag Mk2, but then looked them up on Wikipedia and found out the whole of their company philosophy is based on copying the styling of 50's and 60's British cars. It's astonishing how such a design method can legally exist in a modern country these days.
Anyway, keep these coming, and this thread alive. It's one of the threads over here at FG I follow religiously.

@settler: loved the pics, post more, please.
That weird looking grey car looks really weird but funny too. Anyone know the brand and model?
BTW, love the Mitsuoka's cars.

I am hooked on this thread. I just can't stop looking at it, scrolling up and down, re-visiting previous pages.
This would be great material for some low-budget coffee-table book.

Yup, Toyoto WiLL Vi the ugliest version of WiLL. And if you mentioned, guy driving that car was about 70 years old.
So some more pictures.

You can have a test drive in one of about 20-30 Toyota there at closed route aroud the building. But you need an international driving licence (this big book one) or japanese one. Unfortunately they don't accept EU licence. At least there are fantastic simulators, great fun.
