Love 'em or hate 'em, the cars of Mitsuoka Motor Co., Ltd. would certainly make the U.S. market more vibrant, wouldn't they? It's enough to make you want to dismantle the DOT and just let them onto our shores. They could swim over. The marine-mammallian Orochi is the latest product of this small Japanese carmaker (13,000 production in 12 years). Its slits, gills and little sliver of a mouth would make it as much at home on the Tokyo Expressway as filtering baleen out in Tokyo Bay. Alas, no U.S. version is planned.
