Ozma sure has some nice taste~

[syn13]

Its been bothering me ever since he first drove his car which very closely resembles the Lancia Delta. So assuming that it really is the Delta, that car has got be extremely rare and atleast almost 100 years old being that it originated from Earth and being a car that had it's production ended in the 80's(I believe).

Either that or its a replicate but hes still got some good taste haha~

Given the peculiar engine noises, most assuredly a replica.

[DarkReaper]

Besides it's a lancia, I bet most of them have rusted away by 2020 at best.

I bet it's a kitcar, like all those caterhams and lambos floating around.

[syn13]

I wonder if this is a growing trend for mecha characters, Misato from Evangelion had some sort of European/Italian sports car and in the more recent mecha series, Lockon from Gundam 00 drives what looks like another Lanica type(boxier Stratos with the almost same colour scheme as Ozma's Delta).

[Mercurial Morpheus]

Misato drove a Renualt if memory serves.

It could just be that Frontier likes to build things influenced by the past. Much like how they replicated SF.

[polidread]

yeah, i think so too - almost every car i saw in the city (except maybe Sheryl's limousine) is an old type of car

[d3v]

Misato drove a Alpine A310 1600ve and yes, Alpine is a Renault subsidiary, specializing in rear engined sports cars with Renault engines.

Now back on topic, IMO the real indicator of Ozma's good taste is his choice of songs, Fire Bomber FTW!

[~Duo~Trenten]

In Ghost in the Shell SAC, Batou drives a yellow Lancia Stratos if memory serves me right.

I am a big fan of the fact that not only cars, but buildings and even landscapes all harken back to something on Earth...after all, Frontier is just one big San Fran:) ...

As for Ozma liking old cars - well... he likes old women as well

Don't forget Tokyo. Shibuya and Akihabara lol.

[Mercurial Morpheus]

True. I think it'd be awesome if Galaxy was modeled after San Jose, being the capital of Silicon Valley, and a nice extension of the SJ/SF rivalry. Geez, can you guess my hometown?

I think Cathy would slap you for that VFTF1.

[RedWolf]

Lol Macross women always have an issue about that. Though society whose population is relatively young it is understandable.

The difference is that Cathy is still a unbought Christmas cake compared to Misa and Millia.

Ghost In the Shell SAC also debuted the Nissan Sports Hatchback(not the Versa but something like it), I dunno, I'm not into cars anymore, into bikes now.

Aw what about Toronto lol!

Wow, you went there.

See but it's 2059 though, we can't get stuck in a 2040's mindset. Cougars need love too.

I betcha Millia STILL looks just as good 12 years later!

[David Hingtgen]

I'd bet a lot on Milia looking EXACTLY the same. She's not even a hybrid, she's pure Meltran.

[RedWolf]

More likely though Max and Millia is together again and produced another daughter or two.

You have to wonder though. Macross 7 could be the closest fleet there is to Frontier and Galaxy.

[Radd]

Max and company showing up with reinforcements for the final showdown would really make my day.

and we'd see max and alto each trying to outfly the other one. how cool is that??

Alto was going WTF with Ozma's speed with an Armored Pack.

Alto would go WTF with Max flying a production model VF-24. Outperforming both him and Brera.

Yeah, but that was BEFORE his vajra massacre fly-by in ep14.

I too would love to see Max with reinforcements in the final battle, but I rather have him flying the VF-22 so we get to see it in flashy CG.

I soo wish that they'd actually make it a production car rather than a concept vehicle!

[Impreszive]

So did I mention that I am "Ozma-izing" my Impreza? I am trying to get a good place to do some work on the roof of the car. I need a camera, and I will post pics.
