Man, its been a while since ive done a car kit (last one was the R32).

Im sure you got some Toyota and Nissan fans that are like "WAIT WHAT, WE WANT HARUHI ON OUR CARS, WHY DOES MAZDA GET EVERYTHING"

Dont get me wrong, i like mazdas. Shoot, my 323DX was my first car i bought. God i miss that thing...

Never mind. Found a link, and it was hobbylinkjapan, silly me, should've done that in the first place.

Maybe not painful to look at, but just embarrassing... -ly painful. Oh well.

Link to buy? I've already blown $200+ on only the two Limited Edition games, and that's not counting the LE American DVDs.

Oddly, I haven't bought any stand-alone toys and figures yet (sans the LE stuff), so this might be the first.

@zerokoolpsx: 'Cause alot of Otaku like to cover the outside and inside of their cars with aanime/manga merchandise stickers, models, plushies, even those life size blow up dolls, and, well they're just painful to look at.

The car is called "Pain car"...

Aside: Haruhi is porn for people too embarrassed to own porn.

@shikaningen:
I would not try to literally translate 涼宮, it is just a name. (Possibly made up, but Suzumiya sounds pretty close to be a Japanese last name to me.)

---

I do not understand how our girl Haruhi could possibly be experiencing any 憂鬱 at all if she is driving the best RX-7 ever made :P I guess maybe her "depression" results from her car insurance rates? The fact I do not have such a car is 僕の憂鬱. Seeing RX-7s such as this and real MR-2s (not the MR-S) was one of the best parts of being in Japan.

mrantimatter — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 08:58:34 MST

more and more, it looks like the solution to any console sales problem is to make a H-ism version.

Ditto for hoping this car makes it into GT5.

shikaningen — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 07:59:46 MST

Is everyone aware what the Japanese text on the cover means?

涼宮ハルヒの憂鬱　
Enjoy the evening cool, shrine/temple/prince (sumiya)
haruhi's
despair (yuu-utsu)

And then at the top right:
痛車
Pain car

This is weird even for Japanese.

Haruhiism?

A religion? NEVAR!

like people would worship such entity of written fiction by unknown individuals, you should try a REAL religion, like one that isn't from second-hand written accounts by mortals! like Chri...no wait. i meant like Isla...no. I mean Buddis.....er....Shint....

i give up.

ALL HAIL GODDESS HARUHI!!! And Saint YUKI!!!

Microsoft should get a "Haruhi Bundle" for the 360. That will surely jump up the sales!

@quen: Aha, I see. I'm sorta at work, and you know how these things can get a bit NSFW sometimes, didn't wanna trap myself. Plus, Google is run by the Man, and the Man can feed you lies, wheras the friendly natives of Kotakuland are usually a bit more informed.

JDavis — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 06:33:02 MST

@PaddyStardust: She's god. Or a temporal anomaly. Or the next leap in evolution. Or something else. Also, she's a complete tsundere who sexually harasses other girls and changes her clothes without a single care as to whether or not there are guys in the room. Oh, and then there's the bunny suit...

@Pylon_trooper: Got to be more than just one man if they already sold out (in akiba)...

@PaddyStardust: Ok here's the helpful, Google-free answer. (1) Yes she is from an anime. (2) Who knows? Why is anything popular? Maybe because it has a great, well-animated dance routine in the show's ending sequence... which for some reason ashcraft hasn't posted yet this week... I'm missing it. :(

SanjiX — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 06:12:24 MST

I ask myself "Does a Mazada has anything to do with Haruhi?" (besides slapping Haruhi stickers on it?) Does she drive? No... does she drive in the PS2 game? Maybe?? Anyway, couldn't you buy a sticker set and another itasha and get the same experience? It's all about the money I guess... ah, whatever, I give up. Oh, and I rather have 600 Haruhi posts than 1 IDOLM@STER post.

I was left wondering what the hell this had to do with games.

Here I am, thinking..."yeah, perhaps they've gone and done a decent Auto Modellista"...

...turns out, it's just one man's unhealthy obsession.

Man, why don't they just stick a Haruhi stencil on a dildo, mass market the thing and get it over with? It's on the way, I know it is, and I just wan't to see it on sale so I can say "Yes, I called that."
