    I don't think they'll sell this here, but it looks like a great offering for the US market.

    I do think it looks like a minion, though. It's something about the positioning and shape of those vertical headlights.

    I was thinking Mickey Mouse or Super Mario with the vertical lights looking like eyes on a glove-like character.

    Yes, I can see that. Especially the very very early Mickey Mouse.

    This could be problematic, wouldn’t doubt a mid-gen face lift would deal it.

    Yes. They could give it a beard so it looks like Yosemite Sam.
