This brand new Roadster is a wonderfully innovative and truly unique vehicle, offered up by boutique Japanese auto maker Mitsuoka, that appears to be built on the same platform as the venerable and highly well regarded Mazda MX-5 -- quite possibly the most popular roadster-style vehicle available on the market.
This new Roadster comes equipped with a great 2.0-liter engine that is capable of pumping out 158 horsepower as well as 139 pound-feet of torque that will keep you breezing along on the road. These specs as well as some of the interior design cues are quite reminiscent of the Mazda MX-5.
At a price roughly in the region of $76,800, there's no question that this is one vehicle that is targeted towards the affluent auto market, although it could make for a worthwhile purchase for lovers of roadster-style automobiles.
