Daihatsu Ugli

The Daihatsu Opti Classic is one numerous neoclassic Japanese small cars produced by the manufacturers themselves. Not content to allow customers to go to companies like Mitsuoka for their taste in the bizarre. The Mazda 3 has nothing on these tooth grins. The first generation Opti Classic is pictured above, the second below.

Daihatsu Dressed

A Daihatsu naked dressed in a skewed So-Cal look that only the Japanese could do. Like putting wood grain on a Jeep wannabe. And painting it neon bogger green. And adding a weird patterned fabric to the seats that clashes completely. And topping it off with what appear to be West Coast Custom surfboards - something I did not know they did.

Daihatsu Naked

Another amusingly named Japanese minicar. For some reason they all have English names it seems. Anywho, this was actually a concept car brought to life, sorta like the Aztek. It's basically meant to look rugged (think Jeep or Hummer) by showing exposed bolts, exposed hinges and lots of creases that are meant for a rugged look. Yet it looks more "cheap" than "rugged".
