Well, I cheated and searched for it because it looked naggingly familiar... so won't reveal it... but pretty interesting car!

Target market was emerging countries (not sure if the pic above is reversed, but if not then obviously one of the countries they were targeting was the United Kingdom).

The next one is definitely a good one, though it may not be a good challenge for those of you 'in the area'. It definitely threw me at first ("Boy, that looks familiar but something's off..." ):

I thought I knew what it was but I was wrong. A good one - definitely...

A color pic or 3/4 shot would have been nice. I can think of about a dozen cars that look like that.
