It looks like a mixture of such design highlights as Morris Marina or Ford Pinto.

Was it planned for a European subsidiary of one of the Big Three?

An attempt to 'embiggen' the Ford Fiesta platform for the North American market?

I admit it has a certain Fiesta resemblance, but it has nothing to do with Ford.

Was this an NSU/Audi project that was co-opted by VW, later to become the Dasher?

There's actually no production car that emerged from that project. My source doesn't mention any VW involvement either.

Is it as simple as a rejected design for the Audi 80?

Wasn't Audi considering a joint venture with MB before they got in bed with VW?

Sorry for the late reply. The possible engine wasn't in the focus here.
