I already think to that. Perhaps difficult, but i had to see that. Also we can have the awards for a car.

Sounds interesting, although it might be hard to get that info for older cars. Also, some cars are tested again when the safety regulations are changed, so you have multiple results. So I don't know if it's worth it in the end.

I have its commercial papers stashed somewhere. There are all trims (worst didnt have radio ) and all colors. Diesel wasnt available in CZ and I read somewhere that it came in 2004, though I can be wrong.

Also it would be interesting to add EuroNCAP results to cars somewhere in future - you would be capable of comparing when you would like to buy used/new cars. For american cars there would be their tests etc etc...

Fun fact: Mitsubishi planned to build 1000 of these as a limited edition, but the car was critized so much by the press for being ugly, that production halted after only 139 cars.

They probably were afraid a large hatchback like this wouldn't be popular. Perhaps they could've made a offroady version of the regular Galant sedan, but I don't think that car is suitable for such bodywork.

Shame Mitsubishi never brought this to the US, especially considering Subaru did something similar in 1998 with the Legacy SUS (basically a sedan version of the Outback Limited).

This might have ended up being quite popular here.

I don't think so. When Lonsdale went bust, Mitsubishi decided to export the Sigma to the UK anyway. Merkur cars are German Fords that were not available to the American market in other ways.

You dont have Opel anymore?

Oh. So it was like Merkur, but more short-lived. I bet they will be collectors item someday.

It was the idea of selling the Australian-built Mitsubishi Sigma in the UK in order to circumvent some quota on the importing of Japanese cars. It didn't really work, and was a pretty dumb idea in hindsight.

Looks like the french cars that you could drive without licence.

Never heard about it. Was it something like Merkur brand, only Japan?

I have to think about making interior like that in my Favorit...

Done.

Since 2016 concept car? Fix this please.

I think that this year is last model year for Roomster. Most likely there will be no sucessor.

I don't really believe in visual tuning when it's done by someone other than the manufacturer, but yeah tuned VWs are awful.

VW group cars are not nice to tune, they all look odd somewhat.
I also listed this car as a hatchback rather than concept, but I already corrected it.

Wow. this car is still made after 52 years. Fun fact is, that it was meant to save Studebaker, but Studebaker later went bust and this was produced as a separate brand.

The interior is pretty much what most tuned VW Golfs look like in the Netherlands.

Ashaming example of bad taste and kitchy tuning made on post eastern bloc country car.

it's made for someone so no

Felicia Fun was also available as Felicia Midi Fun. It had big plastic cover above truck bed, often seen on ordinary Felicia Pickups and Vanplus. There were 3 colors available, yellow, orange and green, but only for bumpers, rollbar etc.

Shouldnt this be a prototype, since 1 car was built?

Price was 20 Million Dollar. Thats 1 Million Dollar per feet of car length which you would pay for that car.

According to this page 6 were built between 1927-1933: www.flickr.com/photos/51941876@N03/18539797956/ There was also a prototype in 1926.
