So you’re headed to Japan and need to rent a car. What to choose? The island nation is a smorgasbord of metal foreign to American tastes, from a wide buffet of pint-sized kei-cars to more American-sized contraptions. But what if none of those options have the kind of flair you require for that special business meeting? Fear not. Mitsuoka has you covered. The company has just announced a rental program that will let you pick up either of its two sports cars for a fairly low per-day rental rate in Osaka.
For a mere 0 per day, you can play around with the ridiculously over-the-top Orochi, complete with its underwhelming Toyota 3.3-liter V6 mounted mid-ship. If you require something topless, Mitsuoka will be happy to put you in the driver’s seat of its roadster, the Himiko for a mere 7 per day. Whichever you choose, you’ll need a fair command of the Japanese language to navigate Mitsuoka’s site. Our Google Translator was no help at all.

Paris Preview: Mitsubishi to debut Euro-spec i-MiEV
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Mitsubishi, Green Daily, Paris Motor Show
We’ve obviously laid eyes on the Mitsubishi i-MiEV on numerous occasions, but the modified Euro-spec version has remained unseen. That is, until now. If you gander at the image above you may notice the slight tweaks that differentiate the Euro-spec i-MiEV from its Japanese counterpart. What, you can’t see the differences? Okay, well maybe a long, drawn-out stare will lead you to discover that this Euro-spec models sports revised front and rear bumpers that meet EU regulations. Those revised bumpers are the only exterior changes that are required to make the i-MiEV Euro-ready and the only tweaks that you will find on the outside.
Turning out attention to the interior, the Euro-spec i-MiEV features a re-arranged center stack in the instrument panel and, according to Mitsubishi, improved passenger comfort. On the safety front, all Euro-spec i-MiEVs feature a stability control system and side curtain airbags as standard equipment. Pricing for the European i-MiEV will vary by country, but its expected to cost under €35,000 (,400 U.S. at the current exchange rate) in all 14 European countries that Mitsubishi targets for sales. Hit the jump for more on the Euro-spec i-MiEV.

Wash Me: Fiesta Gets the ‘Dirty Car Art’ Treatment
At 6 a.m. this morning the sun was just beginning to creep over the horizon. The stars were fading and the gray dawn slowly started to lighten. Sipping tea from thick china mugs, we watched the world wake up before piling into the cars and setting off for the long drive to San Marcos, Texas.
And despite the early hour, it was stunningly beautiful. We passed through proper cowboy movie terrain — rough peaks that plunged into low valleys where, if you squinted, you could almost make out the Lone Ranger silhouetted against the skyline on his trusty steed, Silver. The road twisted and turned, carving its way through the hills, until we emerged onto a flat plain which was bathed in a milky glow that crept to the distant hazy mountains. Overhead an eagle soared lazily and we felt like the only people in the world.
Of course, this being Texas, the road was not entirely romantic. Every so often we would come across a squashed animal of some kind: a coyote, a racoon, a skunk. And we’d pull through yet more one-horse towns with their desiccated buildings.

Report: Lotus bringing a pair of front-engine hybrids to Paris Motor Show
Filed under: Hybrid, Lotus, Paris Motor Show
Lotus Evora 414E Hybrid – Click above for high-res image gallery
In addition to the pair of Evoras being introduced at this year’s Paris Motor Show, Lotus will also be unveiling two front-engine hybrid vehicles, in keeping with the automaker’s promise to offer more gasoline/electric sports cars. Green Car Advisor reports that one of these hybrid cars will be a four-door hatchback and the other will be a two-door coupe.
Lotus debuted its hybrid concept earlier this year in the form of the Evora 414E Hybrid (pictured), but unlike the mid-engine concept, the two front-engine models will utilize a 47-horsepower 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine specifically designed to provide power to electric-drive hybrids. We’ll have the full details direct from the Paris show later this month, so stay tuned.
