It has an interesting look to it. First time me seeing one of that bodystyle. So, they got that....and we got the old 626 coupe? Way to go, America.

The GSL-SE was cool. Wasn't the GSL-SE only sold in America? Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure someone will set my $ss straight if I am.

Only America got the REPU too. So I guess it sort of evens out. Still, I'd love to have a JC Cosmo!! I'll just have to settle on the engine for now.

Nice car, REVHED!

I'd glad you all like it.

Like MikelMR said the Cosmo was only sold in Japan but there's probably about 100 in Australia that have been brought in as low volume imports.

Yep, that's the stock Series 1 Type-S interior. The Type-S is quite a lot lighter and has stiffer suspension so it handles better and doesn't feel like a boat. It's also quicker than the Type-E/ECCS models.
