What car is this?  Include the year, make, and model.

There will be no LOCKs in this batch of puzzles, so guess carefully.

The name of the car is not Fiero, and it is not remotely connected to any vehicle by Pontiac or General Motors.

Yes, based on a VW.  (Implied by the country and brand name.  I've seen nothing in print to confirm this.)

One point for Arunas, having provided the correct answer.

Jotage21 indicated he would post this car as a puzzle 3 years ago.  I figured it was about time.

Here is the unaltered original image of the car.  I have only found one image of this car.
