When was the last time you saw one of these? Last time I did, I was driving a Skoda.

Count me in the never category. Kind of cool though. I'm not sure I would fit in it.
Daihatsu Charade with delusions of grandeur.
Holy crap, I'm in Vancouver right now! I should go have a look at that. I love it!
I love how large the "TURBO" badge is.

There's no delusion. It's grandeur. 
I think only the motor is Daihatsu
I've seen a whole lot full of them, maybe 15,or so. It was at a dealership in St. Eustache/Deux Montagnes,Quebec sometime since I met my wife in 1983.One of those would be pretty cool.
I met a guy trying to sell one at Nelson Ledges in Ohio a couple years ago. Not street legal here, of course.
How bad could it be? Too bad not for US sale though. I'd consider it.
One half the Pantera community just got wood.
OK, how about this, then?

In reply to Rad_Capz:
Wheelbase and rear axle placement forward remind me of the sixties A/FX drag cars... first thing I thought of when I seen it n e way.... and a GRM engine transplant
Put me with Holy Crap crowd. Ferrari Red, De Thomaso,,,, Oooooh I can just hear it screaming along at 55 full out
I would love to have a garage pic of me driving a Lada pickup towing that Tomaso home.
They're both so stupid and useless but I must own them.
E: also, is that one of those subaru things with the odd windows behind the lada?

That's a Subaru SVX. Interesting cars -- flat six, weird styling, awd, automatics only but I understand there are manual conversions.
The Innocenti was based on the original Mini --they are tiny.

I have a (Suzuki) 3 cyl turbo that does 14's in the quarter, and my buddy's does 13's at greater than 100 mph.
Now, the Lada might be tapped out at 55.

TURBO! ALL OF IT!
DO WANT. I never heard of those things, but now I want one. 
That is over 25 years old. 
I have been dreaming about dragging one of those over the border for years. Love them
Gotta love how proud some of the 80s turbo cars are. Mitsubishi starion, I am looking at you.
Imagine what an ecoboost SHO that is proud of its turbo goodness would look like today.
