FactNew 2009 safety rules briefly halted it, so Mitsuoka kept converting 2008 Marches; it returned that October with its bumper overriders deleted.
The second-generation Viewt, based on the Nissan March K12, first appeared in September 2005 — a Jaguar Mark 2-style front and rear grafted onto the current March, as with every Viewt. Three engines: 1.2, 1.4 and 1.5 litre, five-speed manual or CVT. Wheelbase is not cited here: the page's own infobox states an implausible "24,530 mm" figure for this generation (965.7 in — over four times the previous and following generations' ~2,450 mm), almost certainly a Wikipedia data-entry error, so it is left out rather than propagated. Height and curb weight are also left out: both are stated only as ranges spanning all three engine grades with no per-engine breakdown.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

After three generations built on the Nissan March, Mitsuoka switched the Viewt's donor car to a Toyota Yaris for the first time.
Its 2016 Gold Premium edition, limited to 15 cars, used 0.5 g of Kanazawa gold leaf per car on the grille badge and wood panels.

Mitsuoka took a Nissan March and gave it the face of a 1963 Jaguar Mark 2.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
