You"ll be familiar with Mitsuoka. Somewhere between building the world"s ugliest sports car and turning the third-gen Mazda MX-5 into a sort of art-deco Cruella DeVil cartoon, the upstart Japanese coachbuilders became one of our favourite corners of Japanese car culture. You just never know what they"re going to do next. Turns out, this is what Mitsuoka does next. Welcome to the superbly named Mitsuoka Rock Star. Turns out you can have a Nickelback association and still be a bit cool. The Rock Star is based on the current ND"-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata. A car we at Top Gear like very much, even in basic 1.5-litre guise. But if it looks a tad cutesy for you, the Rock Star sorts that with a healthy dollop of good ol" Americana.
