Courtesy of Jalopnik, some pages from Mitsuoka Motors , a Japanese car company I never heard of. They have a range of vehicles from Excalibur knock-offs down to micro-cars that look like something from a Lego layout. Even more intriguing is their sublime Japlish advertising slogans. In the micro-car page, I'm still trying to figure out the Santa references.

And "Happy to hear that it is atmosphere and presence rather than talent" back atcha!
The overseas network shows clearly who their target market is: Malasia, Hong Kong, Brunei, Bahrain...
The subtext also reads like they're really OEMing someone elses chassis, I wonder who the initial vendor is.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
