Mitsuoka Le-Seyde, Pt. 2

So I've covered the Mitsuoka Le-Seyde before when AutoFug first started, but I found some new pics and thought I would do some updating. Any guesses as to what this began as? I'm guessing Nissan Silvia. Another reason for updating is that I've stumbled across Misuoka's website for selling cars in the UK, and it contains some pretty awesome Engrish. See below...

"There is no special car. Originality and classic styling to fully enjoy the appreciation alone is not enough. Normally ride. Le-Seyde premise that if you ride and break equipped with modern features. This is a purely practical car. The classic car is the only mainstream dynamic styling, it was like watching a car, maybe. The original elegance to leave the car and ran to his roommate's Le-Seyde. Just go in the car. Ribbon equipment such as wheel spokes and tires DITIRU loyalty is bright. But it is not alone. Bend strength tests on the safety standards of about 2.8 times the mainframe. The body is stronger than 7 iron to 14 m / m use of FRP. Cornering expand to tread, such as strength and safety are also excel. Want to run slowly. Naturally the car is able to run faster. However, the slow-moving car that was rarely enjoy. FORUMU own, in addition to their beauty. Sometimes venture with the purpose of enjoying at 40 km per hour. Run, the scenery and enjoy themselves as much as anything to the car. Also part of car maintenance. Japan-based car using its own integration methods and car bodies, reliability and safety. RIBIRUTO is not using any. Of course, parts, the parts are made in Japan, so quick service anywhere across the country, also encouraged to get maintenance. Also play experience. Classic cars on the honest people's voice gave birth, with features such as PW.PS.AC the car. Not special, can ride every day. Driving one's own values are fully enjoy oneself. That car can be claimed."

Lumma Design CLR (but it's a BMW not a Mercedes)

Another confusing colour scheme... Althogether, this 750hp BMW M5 is all kinda of awesome. The problem is every part of it is a different colour.
Let's take the outside for starters. It's white, but it looks as if the new pieces of the body are black. Not carbon fibre either - just black. Why? Now knows... Maybe to show what their body kit looks like. It'd look so much better one colour though... It kind of looks like a skunk.

And now to the engine bay. Where the intake manifold is orange. I dunno - maybe all their engine parts are orange. Like how Chevy engine blocks used to be orange. Or how Porsche paints it's brake calipers different colours per model...


And now inside everything BUT the dashboard is bright white and red. Can't they keep a consistent colour scheme here?? Those seats and doors look like they should be in a Cavalier.

Mansory Vitesse Rose

This is more of a case of bad taste in colour than anything. That's some pink overload right there. Even the engine cover is pink. I somehow doubt that many preteen girls can afford a car costing several hundred thousand dollars. Although I suppose there's always Paris Hilton.

Mansory is the company created this abomination, and named it the Vitesse Rose. But for all respective purposes it's a Bentley Continental.

Anliker SLR

Behold the Anliker SLR. I'm not sure who this Anliker guy/company is, but a quick google search appears to show that he likes bright red things with gold on them. This poor SLR - aside from appearing to live it's life indoors on display - makes my retinas burn. It would by fugly without the colour scheme, but with it it's so much worse. And that interior - it's probably the only car in existance where you'd have to wear sunglasses inside at all times to prevent permanent eye damage. I don' think I've ever seen a red so bright. Also note the butterface model standing next to the car (who looks really happy to be there I might add). I'm thinking they hired her to make the car look good by comparison.

This red and gold disaster can also be found in Dubai. I sense a trend of bad taste...

Pimp my Camry, Dubai Style

Only in Dubai would someone take a regular Camry and gold plate all the chrome on the car, as well as the rims. On a red car. Plus - it's a freakin' Camry. Not that only expensive cars should be worth of expensively bad taste, I suppose.

Batman's really let himself go...

Not only is this one of the saddest Batcar replicas ever, they even had the audacity to fake George Barris' signature on the hood.

Mitsuoka Orochi

I was sure I posted this bastard before, but I couldn't seem to find it in looking back. So if this is a repeat, I apologize. This monster is the top of Mitsuoka's food chain. Originally a concept, this NSX based beast has now in production for a couple years. I'm not sure how this got past them concept stage - you think someone might have told them it's not the most attractive fish in the sea the first time it was out in public. Design inspirations were H. R. Giger, the Swamp Thing and the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Mitsuoka ViewT

Mitsuoka is a Japanese car company that rebodies current Japanese models to look like old Biritsh cars. If fact, they've been doing it "successfully" for quite a while. Their ViewT model is based off the luxurious Nissan Micra, with a healthy does of Jaguar S-Type/Mark 2 slathered on either end. It's about as appealing as cheap sushi coated in grey poupon.

2010 Lincoln Mark LT

So the Lincoln LT was pretty much a sales disaster. Because really, who in their right mind would pay thousand extra for a Ford truck with a pimpin' grille? The answer to that question is Mexicans, because Ford is continuing the model for sale south of the border (where apparently the Lincoln sold well, and there was demand for it when it was discontinued). I wish this was a joke, but it is not.

Grafting on Lincoln's new "wing" grille onto the slab sided front end of the new F150 works just about as well as you think it would. Which is to say, not very.

Acura RDX6

Again maybe this is only me, but ignoring the polarizing beak of the Acura, it has quite a bit of BMW X6 going on since it's facelift... Mainly in the headlights and fog surrounds.

Second Time's the Fail

For some reason Nissan felt it necessary to make a second Pivo, called Pivo 2. It contains all that I hated about the original, except now there's a anime R2D2 in the dash, it's it's cuter. The front opening door nods to a great fug of the past, the BMW Isetta.

The Shredder (aka the Lincoln Corvette)

Browsing through eBay, I found this jem. According to the seller, it once belonged to John Belushi. This car is all kinda of wrong, starting with the fact that it's a Corvette that has Lincoln emblems and a Continental style trunk. And what appear to be taillights from an AMC Gremlin. I'm not sure where the rest of the pieces came from, but they kind of look FoMoCo (althought I suppose the headlight units could be from a 70's era Caprice).

I'm not sure if this is technically a NeoClassic design, but they did often use Corvettes of this generation and try to glam them up. This one isn't quite as "lux" as some of them, but the peaked, squared up fenders do look very NeoClassical.

One of the best parts of this car as how it's been continually fugged through the decades, with 80's style "Shredder" decals and modern blingin' dubs.
