A bland little car, of complicated origins.

What is the simple make and model of this car, and when was it created. To earn your point, also name the company which built it.

A facelifted car of foreign origins which ended up being built in India?

sixtee5cuda · August 06, 2016, 07:15:20 PM

Some of the roots of this car go back to Japan. The car was not built in India or Japan

Lorenzo721 · August 06, 2016, 07:19:04 PM

Stupid me, I should have noticed that the steering wheel is on the left...

Is it built in Asia?

sixtee5cuda · August 13, 2016, 09:29:46 AM

Sorry that I did not see your reply sooner.

Yes, it was built in Asia.

Lorenzo721 · August 13, 2016, 07:12:31 PM

No problem!

It seems to be a facelifted Mazda Familia / 323... Hainan CA7130 / Happin?

No Mazda connection

Is it based on a Ford Escort of the 1980's.

sixtee5cuda · August 21, 2016, 01:36:35 PM

Not based on a Ford, or an Escort.

This car is from China.

wingroad · August 21, 2016, 03:26:39 PM

Is it anything to do with Yema in China.

studhamsmudger · August 21, 2016, 07:31:56 PM

Zhonghua Sedan, manufactured by the Shenzhen China Motor Corporation from 1985-87

sixtee5cuda · August 24, 2016, 02:07:44 PM

One point awarded to studhamsmudger for the correct answer.

This plastic-bodied car is said to be based on the Tianjin-Xiali, which has links to the Diahatsu Charade.
