Probably some sort of DaimlerChrysler captive import, maybe a Colt or an Eagle.

You must mean Chrysler, not DaimlerChrysler (which was created by the merger of Daimler-Benz with Chrysler in 1998).

Car is 1984-1988 Mitsubishi Mirage but hood emblem looks like that of the Chrsyler's former "Eagle/Jeep" division which sold ex-Renault models (Premier, Medallion) and some rebadged Mitsubishis during late 80's-early 90's in USA.

I think it might be a Renault Medallion.

The Renault Medallion was called the Eagle Medallion in North America.

Looks like a Nissan to me.

This car is definately a 1985-88 Mitubishi Mirage and not a Nissan - see pic : Link to "www.cars-directory.net"

The Renault/Eagle Medallion was the US version of the Renault 21. See : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_21

I also think this is a Mitsubishi Mirage (Lancer in Europe).

I think this is a Dodge Colt

This Probally must be named Mitsubishi Mirage, since the Dodge Colt name was used for the hatchback versions???

Mitsubishis weren't sold in Canada at the time, so this is either a Dodge/Plymouth Colt or an Eagle Vista.

Actually, that appears an Eagle logo on the hood, so this is presumably an Eagle Vista (ever though almost every one I can find has the logo on the grille...).

1987 was the first year for those lights and no Mirage in Canada as Mitsubishi started offering their vehicles under the Mitsubishi name in 2003 so Colt or Vista only

Like I said above, the badge is that of an Eagle, so definitely Vista.

i was saying that because the pic is billed as 1985 Mitsubishi Mirage

So... Change to 1987 Eagle Vista?

Looks like the first year for the Vista was 1988, not 1987:

I just noticed that. It might be the Mitsubishi Mirage then.

both locations on imdb are in Manitoba, they won't see a real Mitsubishi until 2003 ( unless grey import or visitor, of course )

This commercial shows the Vista without the badge on the grille but that's all I can find:

or the earlier ones were that way..

Maybe it was a production change that went unnoticed?
