The article is from 2010. Did this car ever come to fruition? A quick look at their site (Japanese)...

...shows some very unusual-looking vehicles. The only thing named "Like" is this Like-T3:

If we ever needed a "Dislike" button, that time is now. :lol:

OMG- check out the "Cute" and the "Viewt". Looks like they've grafted the front end of an MG Type A or classic Jag onto an iMiev!! :shock:

:shock: I didn't even see that. Amazing how you can camouflage an i-MiEV! :shock:

Have you noticed that front and rear tires are identical width ?

That should fix some of the under steer but as Don pointed out making the back as bad as the front...

The description of the car says "front wheel drive" too... weird! Even the ICE version of the "i" is rear-wheel drive.

I quite like some of their work. Kind of have the fun of a retro car with all the convenience of a modern, even EV. I can see some people spending some money, the problem is that if money is really not an issue, then the target customer might anyway get the real thing... That narrows their target customers.

sorry to disappoint but the Viewt is based on a Nissan March / Micra.
