Anyone want to take a guess on what my new to me car is? It is a tough one to guess from this photo but I will toss out some clues as the day goes on.

Canadian market Hyundai Pony. 

Okay, that was my wild guess. I wish it was and though it could be because you're "that kind a guy" (should be read as a compliment) 

 

Honest answer. Toyota Tercel of about 1986

BMW of some older vintage is my guess.  Mid eighties 6 series?

Not a BMW or Hyundai or Tercel.

 

80s is the right time frame.

 

I am absolutely a Hyundai Pony sort of guy but they never come up for sale.

The bumper looks 80s German, but I really want it to be something French. I have no reason behind the want though.

Not a R107 - I buy cheap garbage

Not a Mazda. Not German, not French. It is a Euro-Asian hybrid through ...

In reply to John Welsh :

It was a stretch, the body contour between the marker and bumper is off as well.

My next guess was Nissan Micra but the marker lens on that is also different. 

 

Back to hunting google images...

Yes! Mostly ... sort of. The make and badge is definitely Italian. Other bits from other places as well.
