Looks to me like a Mitsubishi Chariot. Did we ever get those here? There was a Hyundai version too. Hyundai Santamo.
Edit to add - I am wondering if this was related to the 1990s (1995-ish?) Eagle Summit Wagon we had here. I'm being too lazy to look it up.

Yes, we got all three of them in the U.S. I remember test-driving an Expo.

Another beauty from the past.
I believe it came with a 6 cylinder with a turbo as an option but don't quote me.
What am I???

The triplets (Mitsubishi Expo, Plymouth Colt Vista, and Eagle Summit Wagon) were offered here in the U.S. in the late 90s. I test drove an Expo….very useful and versatile little people-carrier, but the steering and suspension let it roll like a beach ball in corners.

Partial credit.
OK, since no one else has figured it out, I’ll spill the beans…an early 80s Mitsubishi Tredia sedan. The two door/sport coupe variant was called the Cordia.
I did not like the Tredia at all. I simply found it unpleasant to sit in and drive.

Yep….an XKE. It’s styling took the auto world by storm when it was first shown in 1961.
And, yes, that is one of the reasons the hood is so long. Jag did some classic V12s in those days.
It’s too bad, though, that the British auto industry, in those days, could not make a vehicle with a decent electrical system that would not short out, seals and gaskets that would actually hold fluids, or convertible tops that actually kept the rain out.
