  • What the heck is a Pajero Flying Pug? One of the strangest and rarest cars to ever come out of Japan. Also, a practical daily driver and an instant conversation piece.

    It's all about interactions, making new friends, not knowing whats around the corner. Good stuff.

    I really like this video. It is so refreshing to hear a person talk about an older car and its performance compared to now. It's exactly how I feel and how a car should be! Felt and driven! Man I miss my 90 CRX si !

    from the front it looks like a much older classic from the 30's and 40's but from the back it looks like a standard Suzuki Sidekick(may have been the same frame/engine and this was a side project that didn't get enough motivation) or Mitsubishi flat back "Jeep clone". this kind of almost reminds me of the Nissan Figaro which i absolutely fell in love with at first sight! i love a lot of those little Kei cars, they're perfect for going to and from work without taking up space and all while having far better gas mileage than our typical American made cars. you should totally find Doug Demuro here on youtube and show this car to him, i'd LOVE to see what he could dig up on it, i really enjoy learning about all kinds of things mechanical including their history!

    I have a Flying Pug which I use as a regular driver in Ohio. Capable and comfortable little vehicle which literally forces everyone who sees it to smile.

    What was in the water in Japan back then? I’ve never heard of this one, but there were a bunch of other weird special editions just like this sold in Japan in the 90s and early aughts; regular cars with a different front end on them to make them look “retro”: the Nissan March Bolero, the Subaru Impreza Casa Blanca (Subaru also had the Sambar Dias Classic and Vivio Bistro), various Mitsuokas (technically coachbuilds rather than factory special editions, but they employed the same cost-saving strategy), etc.

    It’s like a Pajero JR crashed into a fairground ride factory and some generic old car looking bits ended up stuck on the front, but the doors escaped unscathed… how bizarre, in the best way!

      Google Mitsubishi PX33. This is what the car trying to recreate. Same old design front, shield shape grill. Crazy fenders. And yeah 4wd unfortunately didn't get into mass production because of the WW2
