Looks like Vauxhall Viva / Firenza, which I think must be very closely related in Opel Kadett (only the grill and vents on the hood are different).

Yes it’s a Vauxhall Firenza but I don’t know the year either.

Subaru 360....first product from Subaru (Fuji Heavy Industries) marketed in the U.S. Weighed less than 1000 lbs., was like a tin can, and had a top speed of around 60 MPH. It came out when I was in high school......and Consumer Reports, in 1969, rated it Not Acceptable, even for the standards back then, because, at its light weight, it was exempt from American safety-standards.

OK, what's this one.........

Hint: I'll accept any one of three answers......this vehicle was sold in three different rebadged forms.

Mitsubichi MPV or Chariot ?

I see they are going to make an EV one.

Never mind...I see the door handles are wrong.

I'll give you credit.....close enough.

It was sold in the U.S. in three forms....Mitsubishi Expo, Plymouth Colt Vista, and Eagle Summit Wagon. And, yes, the Canadian version was the Eagle Vista.

Extremely useful and versatile vehicle for its small exterior size, although it drove and handled like a boat.

The Wikipedia page mentions those models but none of them have the same door handles (close together)
