G'day
 
After a lot of trawling the net, there is apparently a Taiwan version of many Datsuns, made by Yulon or Yue Loong. The names for the cars were as cheesy as the Japanese versions. Given that I found a head cover image with the name on it, I suspect that there might have been an engine plant as well as body assembly.
 
However, I have not found an image of this station wagon
 
Cheers
 
Graham

My first thought was that was the new Lincoln grill. Not a Ford logo though.

Looks like a Renault Murano. A little too much like a Murano, in fact.
 
Is that a Nissan rebadge?

Renault CUV based on Juke underpinnings.

Looks better and more practical than the Juke, though still a little wild.
 
I like the two-tone, inside and out.

My information is that the new Renault Captur CUV is based in the Clio. Undoubtedly there's some Nissan in it as well.

There's lots of pressure on Renault to build Nissans in France. Reports are a bit conflicting as to whether it'll happen. (Reuters).

I remember a quote from the late 1980s from the CEO of Renault at that time:
 
"Zee Japanese? Zay have nothing to teach us..."

To be fair, Renault saved Nissan.
 
Now it'll be the other way around.
