I guess that depends on which side of the pond your on. That kit looks to be based on the businessmans coupe. Very popular car and all sorts of hotrods built from it. It would appeal to a US market and be completely foreign to most everyone else. The lowered top and body to the frame go way back. I have a vintage body of that car here as well as an early ford coupe and 57 chevy. Not growing up seeing cars like that I can understand, not everyone is a mini fan over here for the same reason. Personally, I like it and would like to see more like it.

Funny story, I actually had a red hotwheels version of that car as a kid (a bit more rodded out though) that I hated inititally, but eventually grew to become one of my fav toys.

I actually think this is one of the coolest kits Tamiya produced. It was based on the Group C chassis and had a body sourced from Parma. In a sea of buggies, touring cars, and off road vehicles this is one kit that actually stands out. I wish they had more releases like this one.

See I like the street devil and I am english.

going to be controversial here, I think that Tamiya`s worst bodyshell is the ABS Toyota Hilux, whether its called a hilux, bruiser or a mountaineer. Plain horrible to me.
