It looks like a MR2 with a really ridiculous body kit. MR2s are popular with the Asian crowd and overseas a lot of these guys get nutty with the body kits.

It's pretty interesting to look at but I wouldn't be caught dead driving it.

Yeah me either

. My primary concern at the time though was whether the owner would come out and see us laughing at it and beat us senseless

Just to balance it out with a positive car experience on this trip: at our company parking lot at the Hsinchu "Science Park", I spotted this rare gem. Maybe someone who knows more about these cars can chime in on the year/options, but it's an older 2nd gen Nissan March A# (aka Micra in some countries) in really nice condition. Up close you could see he had some brake/suspension upgrades. Supposedly they're pretty decent little machines, for what they are:

I used to have this as a hatch back in UK

Installed a hood strut kit from kellyefields on this board (Hood Dampners/ hold up thingies). The price is good and the install is dead easy, took about 15 minutes to sort everything out.

Aside from getting the factory hood holdup bar out of the way, the struts hold the hood open higher than before as well. Should make most projects easier (although I guess it will make any project that requires removing the plastic they mount through harder).
