Name That Car

A new thread to capture mystery cars in print/ads/photos/web.

First one: I just received this e-circular with a mystery car (it's not a Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon.) Name that car!​​​​​​​

Name this car that flashes across my screen when I view this email.

I'd say it was an early 80s version, a friends mom had one and we trashed it around town for years

No the Honda always had a rounded rectangular locking gas cap cover. Th eother item is that it has side marker lights so it must be LA or EU. My guess is a Fiat or Skoda.

It looks like a 1982 Toyota Starlet and a 1981 Rabbit had a baby.
Is it actually a real car?

While we wait for kevink0000 to come up with a fantastic NTC, here's a gem from my old stompin' grounds. NTC! If you can name the city - that is a two-fer!


Name that car!

CitiCar X100. Apparently had the highest production numbers for an all-electric car until Tesla. I wanted one when I was about 10 years old.
6HP motor 40 mile range.

CitiCar - 1970's Electric Car -- Electric & Hybrid Cars


What is yours? I give up. Looks like a Ford or Toyota product, just can't place the name.

It is a Mustang driven in the opening scene of Mary Tyler Moore pilot episode in Minneapolis MN USA

Close, but not quite... Chris' 1994 Puli 2E
The name is actually that of a Hungarian dog breed
The headlights could well be some Lada part they used though.
The taillights appear to be the exact same like on an Ikarus 280 bus
