LOL yep! And the car in the very first post made me think immediately of Wallace and Gromit! . I suspect the Suzuki designers are probably fans.

Tatt

 

this car is coming to US late 2007.

 

You can not talk about MNI look-alike cars without this blatant MINI rip off called Nissan Be-1 which came out in 1989. I remember when it came out in Japan as a limited production model. You had to wait for a year or so to get it and they fetched a premium price in the secondhand market for a long time. It is interesting though, some of this car's feature could be found in our new 'real' MINI. It shows our BMW MINI is also a rip off of the original one.

 

Check out the interior... Looks familiar doesn't it?

 

Been around alot longer than the "new" minis. I had a City Turbo II when I lived in Tokyo. Very fun car (except in snow). In a whole, all of the Japanese standard sedans are that size, due to the small roads.

 

I think that the suzuki concept is great....what cool styling!

make it rear engine!

OMG but that Suzuki is one ugly little wannabe.

 

Actually there's another made by Daihatsu looks alot more like the mini. I would call that a copy cat. Let me see if I can find any pic. Here you go.
