Guess What Car It Is

[blakeatron]

Sigh... No... it's black, and it's a 2 door, but it has never said a word. And it definitely doesn't have turbo-boost.

ejector seat? or a flashy red light at least?

is it a corvette something or other

Don't I wish... Nope, it's much more ordinary than that.

I think the steering wheel looks a bit Nissan Sunny-ish

[markbt73]

I actually had to crop that photo of the dash so the logo on the steering wheel wouldn't show. It's not a Nissan.

Here's a little bit of the exterior, to see if that helps:

[gozone]

Well, now i have absolutely no clue at all. :S I still think that the steeringwheel looks a bit Japanese, but those vertical-type handles really makes me confused..

I cant remember having seen a car like this before.. Could we see a bit more of the car, please?

[lentner3]

is this european?

[markbt73]

Wow, I didn't think this would be that hard... a few more clues, and then I'll show more of it if no one guesses.

It's an American-Japanese "captive import," built in USA from Japanese parts and based on a Japanese FWD sedan chassis. This particular car has the naturally aspirated 2.2l four cylinder from the Japanese company, though this car was also sold with a turbo 2.2 and a 3.0l V6 from the American parent company.

According to Wikipedia, it was sold in North America, Australia, and Europe, but it wasn't a roaring sales success. In the USA, it's uncommon, but not really rare.

still no clue, really. :/ The only brands i am familiar with, making "special" versions for the US market are the Acura (Honda), Lexus (Toyota), and the Infinity (Nissan), but i dont remember ever noticing that kind of doorhandle on any of them. :S Another pic would be cool.

This is getting really exciting now.

Ooooohhh... It COULD be a Ford Probe i think.. ????

It could be, and is.

1989 Ford Probe LX. Currently in need of a minor repair for a coolant leak.

[gozone]

Okay then.. (Nice car, by the way, i think i have seen 2 of these here in Denmark all in all, but both later models)..

Anyway, next pic is up..

Easy one again this time.. Make and model please.

Is that an old Triumph 2000 TC ?

[gozone]

Nope, not a Triumph.

[skip665]

Mid 70s Toyota Corolla?

[gozone]

Nope, its not a Toyota either, sorry.

[madaz75]

Mazda 1500 Luce

About 1969 year

[gozone]

Nope, not a Mazda either...

A small clue.. Its European made..

[monster_beetle]

DAF 55 marathon?

[gozone]

No, not a DAF either.

[highflyer]

1975 Honda Bluebird? I am trying my best

[madaz75]

BMW 320i

1978 model

[gozone]

No, not a Honda, and not a BMW, sorry guys.

(Looks like this was a bit hard after all)...

Let me know when you want some more clues..

Cheers..
