It’s actually pronounced Cash-Kai and Nissan named the vehicle after the Qashqai people, who live in mountainous Central and Southwestern Iran.

This one shouldn't be hard, but seemed noteworthy at the moment to snap a quick (low quality) pic. Look what I saw (in yellow) crossing the Tower Bridge in London yesterday:

It's interesting that Nissan (apparantly) didn't get much feedback from that. Volkswagen, as you might recall, got complaints from the nomadic Touraeg desert tribe in North Africa when they named their large SUV after them some years ago.

I've seen a car like that before but can't remember what it is!

Dammit, again. Lol

If you're talking about the yellow one, that's an FD (third gen) Mazda RX-7.

It must be difficult getting used to sitting in the right seat and driving on the left side of the road in Britain when you are used to the U.S. and Canada.

Nope, it's a 7. The RX-8 has different taillights, roofline, rear bumper-cutouts, and a larger slot in the front fenders.

That should've been an easy one for me.

I'm blaming it on the camera angle.

there was a time when the RX-7, MK IV Supra, Nissan Skyline, MR2 turbo, Celica GT-Four, Mitsubishi EVO, Honda S2000, WRX STI, and 3000GT were ALL on sale at the same time... only one of those has lived on

something about don't cry that it's over, smile that it happened...

here's a good one for you then (or anyone else too lol), although this is actually somewhat of a trick question:

Another FD RX-7, but with a Veilside body kit. I think the kit itself was like $20k, so half the price of the car before installation and paint.
