Have you seen this:



I think that looks awesome.  It's amazing what you find on google with "auto kenboy" they make some really neat stuff.  There's a yellow rig on this page:

It looks like a modernized samurai, what is it?

It looks like a Samurai, it has the later grill on it which has been chrome plated.

No no no on that page the link I posted, there's an entirely new rig on there.  Looks like a tintop samurai, but completely restyled.  Not just a grille, but an entirely new body, it looks neat, like samurai meets 21st century auto design

This one::



Thats a Jimny, not available in the US. It came out in 1998 so its a 20th century design.

Exactly that one!  (sorry, I was too lazy to download and attach a picture)
It's a pretty interesting design!  Never heard of it.  Seems like the US gets the short end of the stick a lot

Wow.  If only that guy could mass-produce those bodies, and sell for a (reasonable) price, he would probably move a lot of them.  Sounds like they weigh virtually nothing (all aluminum)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
