Why is this Roadster 4 Million Yen More Expensive?

Another roadster from well-loved Japan, the Himiko Roadster, from equally known Mitsuoka has been based on the MX-5 by Mazda. It’s classy, looks the part of a classic too. But it’s way more expensive roadster than the Mazda MX-5, 6.65 million yen.

A bit of history: roadsters became vogue in Japan after the introduction of British roadsters. The design itself is mostly English, with the addition of a few stylistic features that are Japanese. Because of roadsters are mostly narrow, they are fit for city driving. Simple and clean lines are also a plus to the roadster- they’re classy but not showy. Then you have the horsepower too- but if you want a racetrack worthy car, don’t get a roadster.
