It looks like a Bary Stimson creation on acid!  Any Stimson connection?

The logo on the front is one of the very well known ones, like Seat, for example?

No. It originally had another logo on the front, from a less-known microcar brand. Now it has a marque of its own.
BTW, I'm not really sure whether it is actually built in Europe, but the design and the marque are European.
