Forget about the new Bronco, get the Mitsuoka Buddy!
I missed this, but have any of you heard of this hideous beast?
The Mitsuoka Buddy.

From Wikipedia:Mitsuoka Motor is a small Japanese automobile company. It is noted for building unique cars with unconventional styling, some of which are modern while others imitate the look of American, European and particularly British retro cars of the 1950s and 1960s.

They sold out of all their planned model builds.

I don't know why, but I like the styling. Reminds me of an early 80's chevy citation 4dr hatch

Front and back look great but they can’t cover up the modern crossover styling from the side.

Why do modern crossovers always have to have that ugly af bulbous styling from the side? More importantly how is that styling selling?

Trying to get low drag and make them look sleek because people who buy wagons and hatchbacks don’t want them to look like one or have useful cargo space.
