I bought one of these a few months ago and have it in Michigan. Your review is great and spot on... I have owned a lot of old cars but nothing that generates the amount of positive attention as my Figaro. When the top is closed there is more storage space in the upper trunk in back. There is also a back seat for more stuff. My two kids actually fit back there, albeit not for long trips.

Man, I really love the looks of this car. Shame how Nissan thought that this car won`t be popular so they only them in limited quantities. I really wish more companies would make retro inspired cars like this.

Starting to see the older imports being brought in. After 25 years they are exempt from EPA/safety regulations. That's why you will start seeing stuff from the early nineties now. Before that you could not legally bring them in. Right now the stuff coming in are pretty old in technology etc.. But in a few more years one might bring in a mint condition Toyota prado (like a land cruiser) with the intercooled diesel engine. wouldn't mind getting my hands on a nice diesel prado.
