A three-quarter photo of the car, but it's beige now
A top-down photo of the car, showing it only has three seats with the steering wheel in front of the middle seat
A photo of the back of the car, where is has Karin written between the taillights
A photo of the interior, where the all the console buttons are clustered on the frame around the steering wheel and the steering wheel is shaped like a pie with and missing piece on the bottom
The another photo of the interior but from a front facing angle where you can see the instrument cluster looks like a crt television screen
A concept car from 1980, design by Trevor Fiore

Looks kinda undrivable tbh

I too use the Japanese TV tower emoji when I can't find the Eiffel tower and go something like "eh, close enough".

I find the omission insulting and I'm not even French.
