I do like the hard top though, ND that rear fender is lovely. Doesn't matter though, since we don't and won't get this (or the SFR)

... would you want to drive that? That's a hard pass for me, height or not.

You don't want to drive a <1,900 lb, mid-engined, rwd, double wishbone suspension car? Even for a test drive? It's basically a more nimble MG Midget or Triumph Spitfire.

I mean, I get not wanting to live with <70hp every day like your grandmother had to, but to totally turn your nose up at it? Wow.

None of us will get to drive those unless we go to Japan. Even if they make them (they are only concepts after all) I doubt they will come here. The North American market just would not buy them.

I'm just a sucker for little go karts. Pretty much what strat said. It's way more about the nimble than the ponies.

Wut? That thing corners at 1.2g on stock tires if you watched the videos. Considering how narrow its track is and how skinny the tires are, that's freaking amazing. The stock 3 cylinder can probably easily make 2x the "66hp" rating, and I don't believe the hp rating at all.

If they stretched it out a little bit and made the doors thicker so it could pass safety regulations in the US, then stuck an L15B in, I would be first in line to buy one.
