don't forget the Mitsuoka View-T, another retro-styled beauty based on the poor old '90s Micra...

Nooooohhhh, not again :mad:

And that's coming from me - I quite likes Figaros...

I recently saw a little japanese car, possibly Nissan, that looked for all the world like a slightly smaller version of the old Austin 1100. It was even grey! Any ideas what it was?

Have to agree dude, they all deserve three hail mary's and a decade of the rosary!

On a side note, anyone know the term of endearment for the S-Cargo? First with the right answer gets a choc-ice!

Well that could be another affectionate term but not the one I was looking for!

what's that awful Mitsuoka Le Baron based on?

the View-T is just wrong wrong wrong and I like Figaros. There's just too much of the Micra visible. At least with the Figaro and Pao you can't see the Micra underneath.

I like those Subaru Sambars too and I own a proper VW van (albeit baywindow). If I *had* to own a city car, it'd be a Sambar
However, like the Figaros, they're also horrendously overpriced :rolleyes:

Hey!

I've an S-Cargo.

Not to everyone's taste, but it does its job very well - reliable, solidy built, distinctive, well-designed town delivery van.

Apparently this is the next generation micra according to a japanese motor magazine. On the bottom corner are a few other micra clones. The one missing is a Micra with a Fiat 500 front and rear.

and this 2009 Nissan Verita which is the 2nd generation Micra. Looks like an Austin 1100 from the front.
