The roofline reminds me of an early 70's Mazda RX-2, but the nose doesn't. Perhaps JDM version?

Replying to: turnten (Jun 22, 2009 12:53 pm) That's, um, interesting. To me the roofline calls to mind the first-generation Toyota Carina. But, again, the nose doesn't, in any way, shape or form.

Replying to: jlbl (Jun 22, 2009 12:00 pm) Yup, oddly enough it is sold in Europe as the Volkswagen California Biker even though it is not sold anywhere in the USA. This superb camper van has no relation to the MoPar-based contraption (VW Routan) sold here. According to Dan Neil of the LA Times the AWD diesel version is is a modern day Westfalia.   I think it sounds very cool and I don't even like vans and campers.

I also first thought mazda, but the nose doesnt ring a bell. Not an RX-2?   My other guess is an early Subaru. But I doubt it, based on the plates (what does James Bond have to do with it?)

Replying to: turnten (Jun 22, 2009 12:53 pm) Well, it seems to be for the Australian market, and doesn't have the JDM spec mirrors, and I don't recognise it as something we got here in UK. It looks a bit like a version of the Mitsubishi Colt, to me, especially along the flank. They assembled various Mitsubishis in Australia, I think, and I wonder if it's one of those. The nose reminded me of the Honda 1200, (I think) but the rest of it doesn't.

Replying to: turnten (Jun 22, 2009 12:53 pm) I know what it is, but I'll leave the answer to others...   Here are two hints.   1. Look very closely at the hood emblem; it's a make you recognize and you probably passed a dozen cars from this company on your drive to work today.   2. The engine is air cooled.
