You Drive a What? #1: Look! Chocolate!


What do chocolate and cars have in common? Not much unless the car is named after something that is in relation to chocolate. In Japan Daihatsu, which sold cars here in the U.S. in the 80's, sells a small car called the Mira. For those who are familiar with the Spanish language you'll know that mira is Spanish for look. The model pictured is the Mira Cocoa version. I'm not sure if it comes with marshmallows or not. This is just the first in a series I wanted to do for my blog and as you will see in upcoming "You Drive a What?" posts the Japanese, and a few other countries, can come up with some amusing names for their cars.
