The tow truck in front of it is a nice touch, don't you think?

1970 or 1971 Mercury Montego 2-door hardtop
 
Lemko strikes again, it's a 1970 Montego.

Mid-80's Lotus Excel.
 
I nearly forgot it was yet another car that shared its name with a "lesser" make (in this case, Hyundai ).
 
....Kinda like the Volvo 850 & BMW 850.

It's a later Excel SE from 1991. I find it easy to confuse the Excel with the similar but earlier Eclat.

Wow. The styling looks sort of Camry/ES350ish. So my first guess was that this is some sort of JDM Camry variant.
 
Then I noticed that the badge looks like the defunct Rover one. And the car doesn't appear to be RHD.
 
So I'm stuck.

Unless the picture is flopped, it appears to be LHD. And it's the Roewe 550.

You're right Hudson, it's the Roewe 550, a shorter variant of the Roewe 750, which was a clone of the Rover 750. They're made by Nanjing Motors of China. The same car is sold by Nanjing in Chile as the MG550.
