Well done!
I was hoping that people will have forgotten all about Talbot!!
Your turn!

Sorry, I'm European. It's hard for me to forget a brand such as Talbot, even when its cars were hardly good. 
And speaking of European:
This might be a bit harder than your own choice, I reckon.

You are half-right, it does have a bodykit on it. But it is not a Ford, I'm afraid.

Maybe a BMW then

This is properly puzzling. Is that a factory bodykit? I can't even tell if it's the front or the rear.

Well, so far no one got the answer right. So I'll let you in on a few cues:
- The picture is of the front of the car, which is entirely made of a grille;
- This car is Swiss, but it also speaks a bit of French.

Sbarro Citroën Axel Onyx
See? Two clues and you nailed it immediately. I should've just given you one, haha.
But well, you pretty much nailed it, behold:
Ain't this something, eh? I was going to use the car this is based off (the Citroen Axel), but I just couldn't resist using this piece of 1980's history instead. Just look at it! A wagon with seven seats based off a car that could barely seat five, now that's something.
👍Well, you're up next, Mark II.

And here I was, looking at Mercedes and BMW. Little did I know it would be based on a tiny, dinky Citroën
Let's not stray from the path of obscurity.

Oooh, that's a tricky one alright. I want to say modified G-Wiz, but I know that is not a thing (and if it is, what is wrong with you people, tuning a turd car like that?)...
- 2,080
- Fionia
Nope, not a G-Wiz. The car is fully stock and I'm sure everyone here has heard of it/seen it before, albeit not in this guise.

Well, it could be a kei-car if anything... Maybe it's a Suzuki Alto?
- 2,080
- Fionia
Kei car is a step in the right direction, although both the engine and the body are slightly too large to fall within the kei-car tax bracket.

Too large... Daihatsu Storia?
- 2,080
- Fionia
Nope. Not a Daihatsu or Toyota product.

Nissan Micra?

Hmm... Mitsubishi Minica, perhaps?

One of the gazillion Nissan Micra JDM only versions, such as Pao and One?
- 2,080
- Fionia
No. It was even smaller than the contemporary March/Micra.
Nyet.
Clue: The manufacturer hasn't been mentioned yet. It was developed by a Japanese company, with whom a large foreign manufacturer has had a long partnership (that was recently broken off). This special edition was sold in limited numbers through Autorama dealerships in Japan.

I got it! It's the Mazda Carol!

Plot twist: it's not a Mazda 
And the Carol is a kei car, which is smaller than this supermini.
