That's correct! I'm pretty sure the Ami has nothing to do with Yamaha officially, but was offered for sale. A Daihatsu-based Ferrai F40 replica? You'd better believe it

I take it back. With the usual caveats about Google Translate, it seems like YM may have been a venture initiated by a Yamaha employee that was supported by Yamaha. Around 600 Amis were made.
