I was at a local car show yesterday. I saw a car that looked just like this (same bright yellow color), and I had to look it up because I had never seen one or even heard if it before.

I learned something new!

 

Yeah there's a red one that always shows up to local shows; cutest thing ever lol.

 

These early '90s Beats show up on BaT with some frequency and typically sell for around $7500 there.

 

First one I’ve ever seen, cool little 90s car.

front looks civic like

 

............and the side panels look like they came off a Mustang.

 

there are a few running around southern CA, imported of course. they are smaller than a miata!

 

as an avid gran turismo 4 player i'm certainly familiar with this and other kei cars lol, haven't actually seen one in person though

my favorite of this group was always the autozam!

 

I remember reading about these back in the 90s. Kind of a cool, little, mid-engined car to play around with.

Around the same time, Toyota had the Sera. It wasn't a kei car like the Beat, but I remember reading about it at the same time and wishing they would bring it here. It had butterfly doors!

 

My cousin has spent a lot of years in Japan and is always telling me about the wonderful cars he never sees in the USA, and this is one of them.

 

That is one neat car. Almost MR2 ish.
