I think a lonely Mazda was parked at night somewhere in Central America and it was spotted by an overflying toucan. The bird thought, 'That's a bit of alright!', so it swooped down and mated with the car. Some weeks later the Mazda laid an egg and voila! out came this cross between an MX5 and a toucan. This surely HAS to be the story. I mean, no one would purposely create something as unspeakable as this, would they??  :o ;D

You're right!

Oh no, hang on, that's not it..
Someone was very proud of this and thought "That's a bit of alright", which is what confused me...
The right answer is still out there!

Yes indeed.
I wonder if the name was inspired by the movie "Coyote Ugly"?!

It's rather good looking compared to the average 24 Hours of LeMons competitor !

You're absolutely right!  I gave you 2 points at 10.27 this morning, just 43 seconds apart..
I've taken one of them away again so we're right now.
Thanks.
