Sorry the pictures are kinda crap. I'd never seen one before and thought it looked super cool!

It was really small and it looked like basically the whole top half of the car was glass

Also kinda surprised with myself that I recognize the rims, I think they're painted e30 bottlecaps ๐Ÿ˜…

There's one of these, a Hi Ace, and a Curren that run around my town in Oklahoma. I get that these cars are/were regular traffic in Japan, but it's so cool to see them here.

I agree, I was really excited to try and figure out what it was when I saw it lol

I'm telling anyone who will listen that while modern cars may be objectively better on paper, these 80s and 90s Japanese cars had something you couldn't measure. I think the same applies to American cars from the 50s and 60s. I dunno. Call it soul, I guess.
