Toyota WiLL Vi



One of several nostalgic niche minicars that are produced in Japan. Not surprisingly, the WiLL Vi (that is how they spell it) didn't last too long.

Designed to look similar to horse drawn carriages, the WiLL Vi was targeted at young women in their 20s and early 30s. Sadly it looks more like the unfortunate Citroen Ami than a carriage. I also like the "ribbed for her pleasure" look.

Well, Bean. THIS has got to be the top of the list so far! I think I could look at The Aurora longer than I can stand to look at this odd contraption. Good capture! I haven't been this queasy since the early 70s and those horrendous Subarus with the thimble-sized wheel and tire assemblies were buzzing about the countryside.
