It resembles a Morgan, but I think it's some Japanese car wearing a kit to masquerade as a classic British roadster. Pretty tacky if you ask me and they talk about "roadster tops" and gold packages on OLD Cadillacs. If you think that's bad, look at a Maxima masquerading as a classic British saloon.

Don't have a clue as to what it is, but it sure looks good to me. Beautiful flow from the front fenders to the rear, with the "mini running boards".

It is a Japanese car built on a Miata. The car is featured on Autoblog's website.

It must have just been put up. I had a pause before I actually got the post my message button hit. So it could have been ONE minute! Luck of the Irish, it was a car I knew.

Imo it looks better than the cross eyed Morgan Aero

That's correct Scott, it's a Mitsuoka Himiko built on a Miata chassis by an outfit notorious for it's outre reinterpretations of British Classics on modern JDM cars.
 
The Himiko is one of their better looking offerings being (as Boomchek says) better looking than some real Morgans. Most Mitsus have been pretty awful, for example>

You mean that's not a Jag 3.8?
 
They even make a car based on the Mustang:
 

 
With rear end by Caddy
 

 
And in sedan form
 

 
I think they should send some cars to NA.

They look like a modern day Excalibur or Stutz...and that's NOT a compliment.
