G-MANN ◊ 2008-07-29 00:20	Awful isn't it? The side design looks like a Seat!
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-07-29 00:33	What's it based on?
G-MANN ◊ 2008-07-29 00:39	A Seat No, really I don't know.
taxiguy ◊ 2008-07-29 05:13	Is this monstrosity a real car or just a modified one?
car nerd ◊ 2008-07-29 05:44	Looks like it's based on a Nissan of some sort. From the A-pillar back it rather looks like the profile of an Infinity...the mid-line model (M?)
taxiguy ◊ 2008-07-29 05:56	Yes, it must be an Infiniti M35 now that I think of it http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e2/2nd-Infiniti-M.jpg
dudley ◊ 2008-07-29 10:31	Yep, looks like a 96+ Primera [P11] from the side, but is actually based on the Nissan Fuga, or Infiniti M35 in the states: -- Last edit: 2008-07-29 10:38:24
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2008-07-29 11:12	Aha. Quote Mitsuoka Motors (光岡自動車) is a small Japanese automobile company which builds modern Japanese cars to resemble British vehicles of the 1950s and 1960s. It is primarily a coachbuilder, taking production cars like the Nissan Micra and replacing the bodywork with its own custom designs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuoka Wikipedia also has an article on the Galue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuoka_Galue
