Arunas's 2015-12 #2 SOLVED: 2004 Koumyouike (KMI) Concept
« on: December 04, 2015, 05:30:57 AM »
This one, I think, is a much obscure car...

Before adding it to my website - here's a puzzle for you!

Identify the base car and its manufacturer. Good luck!

Is it based on the Lotus Elan, which I believe was made in Malaysia for a time?

I did really think Lotus Elan too, but to my surprise I have found the base car is totally different!

It is not from Malaysia.

No. The name is very obscure because the company is not a car manufacturer.

Is the company part of the automotive industry though, or is it something completely different ?

As far as I understand it is like a dealer today, but I don't understand Japanese so I might be wrong.
