Mitsuoka Cars

Ranked #8,927 in Cars, #455,686 overall

Stunning looks, mundane mechanicals..

Mitsuoka is a Japanese Car Manufacturer with a difference.
They start with a standard, normal Japanese car (eh Nissan Micra, Honda Accord), and turn it into something else.
A good example of this is the Mitsuoka Viewt, which is a Nissan Micra underneath, but looks like a MK2 Jaguar.
So, all the looks, but none of the hassle. Parts are easily available (It's a Micra).
Or how about the Galue? That's a Bentley look-alike, based on Honda running gear.
See? It's a win-win.
None of these cars were ever available outside Japan, but they ARE available for personal import, and now enjoy a cult following, particularly in right-hand-drive markets such as the United Kingdom.

I think they're brilliant, and deserve to be better known. Which is why I created this lens..
