It was based on a regular production car, but not a rear-engined model.

Well done Nicanary, it is based on a Toyota Corolla (first-generation I believe).  So, we are now half-way to the complete answer.  Locked to you for the next 48 hours to tell me what it was called.

I don't know much about this car, but yes, I do know that it was built in Japan.

Gosh Shamrock, that's quite a Facebook discovery, and thanks for adding extra information that I didn't know about this car (Mazda Cosmo rear screen, etc.).

Sadly, even in rough translation from Japanese, Toguchi isn't the name I have for it.  Sorry!

Please excuse my slow reply Shamrock.  You are getting closer with the name, but it is not Natalie I am afraid.  Keep on trying though...

Natasha?
Natasha is part of this car's name, with another word in front of it, so locked to you until your next reply for the first part of its name.

Sorry Wendax, but this puzzle will have been locked to you for a week tomorrow, so to be fair to all, I will be re-opening it to everyone if I don't receive a (correct) reply by the end of tomorrow.  Thanks.

You may open this puzzle up again, as I wasn't able to find anything on this subject.
