Japanese Morgan....therefore Pimptastic. =D>

kung fu jesus · 12-05-2008, 10:41 PM

is the frame made of wood, too?

frictionfighter · 12-05-2008, 11:15 PM

yeah, cherry blossom trees.

Dicker · 12-06-2008, 12:10 AM

hahah, I dont think they copied morgan that closely steve, Its basically an MX5 with a reallly long nose.

coupeloop · 12-06-2008, 02:32 AM

damn five lugg??!! luxurious!!

Shawn808 · 12-06-2008, 03:07 AM

I thought the new MX-5's all came with 5 lug?

Oh My God :shock:

Usual half-arsed Mitsuoka approach to the interior (loads of work on the outside, some vinyl strips inside)

I wish I could say this beast is a poor man's Aero8, but at 5 million yen (and possibly the worst timing), not many poor men will be looking at this.

looks cool.

mouse · 12-06-2008, 08:53 AM

That looks like shit....I'd rather stay with my NC. And then buy a REAL Morgan

djsqiigles · 12-06-2008, 09:02 AM

haters lol

FooSchnickens · 12-06-2008, 11:03 AM

The doors REALLY need some kinda treatment. They stick out like a sore thumb to me.

typesticky · 12-06-2008, 11:44 AM

hideous

Shawn808 · 12-06-2008, 12:03 PM

All that work on the body and they keep the stock interior and wheels with just a rebadge?

theshdwconspracy · 12-06-2008, 12:30 PM

I think if they went to a vintage style chrome mirror it would blend the door a great deal more. Obviously they are not trying to create a copy of this car, only mimic it with an mx-5 chassis which i think is super cool

Merely following American design practice.

roadsternut · 12-06-2008, 02:45 PM

Hmm, on reflection, and knowing about the other Mitsuokas, this is their attempt to copy an old XK120.

Morgan Aero8

Haha.

+1
it needs a cut out in the middle of the door so you can drag your knuckles on the road.

jesseclee · 12-08-2008, 04:39 PM

Looks horribly tacky. In other words- a slight improvement over the stock NC
