Sadly, we cannot un-see it. Why anyone would take a perfectly serviceable contemporary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/mustang\">Mustang<\/a> convertible and transform it into this is beyond us. Then again, this <em>is <\/em>the same company that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2006\/10\/03\/mitsuoka-orochi-specs-pricing-announced\/\">created the Orochi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Galue &#8216;vert&#8217;s front end apes an older Bentley while the tail is lifted straight off a late-1990s Cadillac DeVille. It&#8217;s all terribly wrong in so many ways. Just be happy that we&#8217;ve opted to spare you the sea monster-like Orochi, which was sitting on an adjacent turntable. It was so awful that the unfortunate model standing next to it collapsed from embarrassment. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/25\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue-convertible-is-all-kinds-of-wrong\/%GalleryURL%\">Beijing 2010: Mitsuoka Galue<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue\/2925320\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/mitsuoka-mustang-1280-1_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue\/2925319\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/mitsuoka-mustang-1280-2_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue\/2925318\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/mitsuoka-mustang-1280-3_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue\/2925317\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/mitsuoka-mustang-1280-4_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue\/2925316\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/04\/mitsuoka-mustang-1280-5_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n<em><strong><small>Photos by Sam Abuelsamid \/ Copyright (C)2010 Weblogs, Inc.<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/25\/beijing-2010-mitsuoka-galue-convertible-is-all-kinds-of-wrong\/\">Beijing 2010: Mitsuoka Galue Convertible is all kinds of wrong<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:01:00 EST.
