I like Mitsuokas. Cool for being oddball retro but not a complete failed retro attempt.
 
I don't care that they used a Mustang, I don't care that it isn't that pretty, I don't care about a lot of things.

I like it. Cool.
 
The only thing I like about it are the wheels. And I feel kinda bad admitting that, that's gotta tell you how little I like the whole car :lol:

SU.​
 
Someone should've told the designer of this thing it wasn't the 1930's anymore.

SU.
 
Seriously Uncool. I mean, 30's styling in a Mustang body with a Mustang engine? Just, no.
 
I'm starting to think that Mitsuokas are desinged after fish. And you wanna be seen driving a car that looks like a fish? Yeah, thought so.

SU.
 
I like a few Mitsuokas (including the Orochi, so shoot me) but am selective about my faux retro cars. I like Panthers and the Stutz Blackhawk, not so crazy about Excaliburs and Zimmers (which this bears more similarities to). That said, it's different, there is clearly a market for these, and I have a grudging admiration for it. The underpinnings are also pretty simples and presumably easy to maintain. Nets off to a Meh.
 
Certainly cooler than the Mustang from which it was built, but it's also not very appealing because it's built from that Mustang. Meh.
 
I'll give them props, it looks better and more uniform(ly bad retro styling) compared to some of their... other "work".
Unfortunately those props only boost it to an uncool.

EDIT: I found a better image. :lol:

At least that image looks pretty cool.



I've just discovered the Type-F and I quite like it.

What were they going for here? A Morgan 7?

I'd happily drive every single one off of a cliff. Happily.

If I had the chance, I'd happily drive the Dore into one.

It's just so damned hideous! The stats don't matter, this car looks like its been pre-crashed, its a bit spider-ish somehow too, really, seriously uncool.
