I'm just saying/proving why i thought it was a mini. A VERY old mini.

I'm not stating anyone is wrong, we can all guess =)

i my self don't know, im guessing too.
ive never seen one befor.
this is just a clean debate.
for me looking at the entena, how the roof is with the black, the windshield wipers & the way the front bumper meets the front fender, looks alot realy alot like that silver Nisson Cube. now that silver one im sure has custom headlight and center grill setup. also it look modern to me, too meny things look to be of a newer way of building cars, like the absence of crome and and a real bumper. only trucks use real bumpers any more.

ah ... i see i see, suzuki lapin it is!
The front grills are vaguely similar, the Lapin looks very much like an "early gen Cube" imho. kinda like the xB's, bB to Rumion relation. That, and the profil is obviously similar, the whole literal box shape

but yes, Lapin. I had never heard of or seen one of those. Still, no idea where the other guesses came from.

Yeah seriously. The Nissan Cube would have been a very good guess, but I noticed that the pillars were shaped differently on the Cube.

well thats it, i was wrong too.

getting the car into the states is not hard.
the hard part is if you need to do repairs, who can work on it, were do you get parts?

you know even that silver"nisson cube" front plate said LAPIN
