It took me a little while to see what it was. (Clue: It is not a Ford Mondeo)

It's a daewoo...not sure of the model though

Sorry. Not a daewoo! Please try again!

neon

The important question is, is he willing to snowplow my driveway in the winter?

I've been a bit mean. It's not a Neon either. Another clue: It's a European vehicle no longer in production.

lol

fiat

KIA

None of the above

Looks like a Pegeout but they still make those.

Opel?

Is it a Mondeo?

Mondeo Escorted with the Vauxhall Vectra wing mirrors?

Civic?

I'll guess it's a much disguised Escort. That looks like an old locomotives cowcatcher on the front.

Scion?

Horrendous?

So, what do I win?

YUGO!

POS?

Piece of shit riceburner. I win!

It looks like it has Ford Contour/Mondeo headlights. Did they make a hatchback version of that car in Europe? The roofline sure doesn't look like one, though.

And Cougar tail lights.

With this in mind...I would not be guessing Ford Mondeo.

:)

hehe, should've read that post about it not being a Mondeo. :)

It's tough, because the top half looks like a crappy 80s Asian car (blocky primitive roofline, pop-out rear windows), but the design of the hatch and the way it integrates into the rear end and bumper look very modern.

I notice the rear seats have 3-point belts, which was rare in American cars until 1990 or so. I'm not sure when European cars got them, but that might help narrow down its age. The rear headrests are also a good clue that it's not some really old car that's had a lot of bodywork. Unless they swapped in some newer seats of course.

I'd have to congratulate whoever put that thing together for making such a unique car, if they were able to hold off on the giant decals and snow plow front end.

Trablant?

It was a Ford Escort!! Yes, it's got mondeo(Europe) /Contour(US) Mk I head lamps and Mondeo Mk II rear lamps. Vectra wing mirrors and a nasty paint job!

The question I would like to ask... WHY??

Mercury cougar, or ford contor.
I love cars so thats my quess but I would not drive that

ooooops I guess my quess was late can we play another one heheh I am pretty good at cars.

Blech. It was decent. It is now ruined. :p

Either a UK Ford Escort... or maybe a UK Ford Fiesta..?

Looks like a shitty Hyundai!

nastiest front lip ever, what the hell... i wanna puke

maybe he lives in alaska and that snow-plow actually gets used.....
