I'd prefer a Mikuku-mobile with big headlights. ;)

I remember seeing something similar to this in Forza 2. I wonder if you can still get nice designs from the AH, for a reasonable price, nowadays.

When this car transforms into a robot that does the Haruhi dance then I'll be impressed.

I didn't believe that there were otaku hobbies that could possibly get any more niche, but I have just been proven wrong.

Or is this just a gateway to get more anime fans into model car collecting?!

This is nice, but I think I like the Nagato Yuki Civic hatchback I saw in a live-action send-up of the Lucky*Star intro. Mainly because I'd love to be able to drive it around. If this was a real car I'd drive it around too. And then do some drifting (well I can't, but let's pretend)!

Has Kotaku bought shares in Haruhi or something?

ahh yes Mazada, fine car makers.

@deathwombat: I wanted to say that, but you said it funnier, and faster.

Good day to you, sir.

@Gouki4u:
All in time, all in time...

@ParanoidIndividual: It's actually a trick to get car collectors into anime.

@luksy:
I would she's more popular than God.

okay, I want my chocobo stickered car. jkjk, actually a Anime Star Wars one would be nice.

I don't understand what this has to do with videogames. If it's just me I'll shut up.

I think that it's very important to note that "itasha" literally means:

Pain Car.

In japanese kanji and all, it's not a homophone or something like that, it actually means exactly that, Pain Car.

I think it's because you feel pain when you see one. Whether it is the eyes or the soul, you feel the PAIN.

xtimrs> IT PROBABLY HAS SOME CONNECTION TO THE NEW HARUHI GAME or a connection to the editors nerdery/penises (:

Well if ashcraft says so I must now call my car the Mazada RX-8!

Why would they ruin a perfectly good (toy) car with this?? Oh well, maybe the APEX seals are blown.........

Now make it dance...

Haruhi has officially gone overboard.

@Sabre_Justice: Dude, this is nothing. You should have seen the line of cross-dressing male Haruhi's doing that insane dance at Anime Expo this year.
