No, not one of those!

this is our lovely Volkswagen 1500 (my granpa own one) it was a derivation of the Dodge 1500. When VW takes control of de Chrysler - Fevre Argentina rename and give a Little restiling to the car that was originally derivated from a british Hillman Avenger

Indeed it is and welcome to AutoPuzzles exekiel!  I'm pleased to award you your very first point (of many I hope).

I had vowed not to post any more Argentinian cars as they're too easy for natives of that country, but since all our Argentinian members had moved up to Expert or Pro level I relented...
Time to renew my vows I think!

How about just telling 'us' it's from Argentina and banning Argentine members from answering for, say, two weeks?

No, all are equally welcome here and are entitled to take part in all puzzles in which they are eligible.  But it is a fact that what to non-Argentinians is just about as obscure and difficult-to-solve as they come is just a run-of-the-mill everyday car to Argentinians hence isn't really a puzzle at all..!

I was looking forward to all the "Hillman Avenger", "Plymouth Cricket" and various Chrysler replies!  I must find more more obscure puzzles...

But since I find what I think are some of my most difficult puzzles seem to get very short shrift I'm kind of getting used to it!

Do you propose this only for cars from Argentina or would you like all puzzle to start with the country the car is from and members of that country be banned from answering for a certain period?

Does this not apply to all countries, are Malaysian cars not easier for Malaysians, or Swiss cars for the Swiss, or South African cars for South Africans, or any car for the members of the country the car is from, especially the mass produced more modern ones?
This puzzle car just happened to be very well known in Argentina, it was built until the mid 80's, which means anybody over 20 has seen thousands of them, many are still around today, but not all puzzles featuring cars from Argentina are solved by Argentine members.

[Carnut]

It does, of course.  I don't propose any special rules at all - all puzzles are open to all.
It's surprising though that some obscure, say Australian puzzles, are rarely solved by Australians so we get a bit complacent thinking that if it's from somewhere slightly off the beaten track it's going to be difficult when that is not always the case..!
It's entirely my fault for posting easy-to-solve puzzles..
