Mitsuoka Ryugi 2024: A Toyota Corolla in British guise!

Just when you think you've already seen all the curiosities, Mitsuoka comes along and teaches us otherwise. The latest creation from the Japanese manufacturer is the Mitsuoka Ryugi 2024, a vehicle that at first glance looks like it came straight out of British automotive history. But appearances are clearly deceptive, because there is actually something hidden under the “special” body Toyota Corolla the E160 generation (2012-2018/E170/E180, 2013-2018), known as the Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder in the sedan and station wagon versions, respectively. Mitsuoka has made it his mission to turn the rather boring Corolla into a car that appeals to... elegant British limos of the late 1950s, like the Rover P5 or the Jaguar Mark II.
