Not sure if this is the Suzuki Swift or rebadged Chevrolet Sprint.

Do I see Pontiac Firefly script at the front fender at the second thumbnail provided by Bahraini Carguy?

I'm puzzled to be honest, the grille looks like a Sprint but the font on the fender definitely looks like it's written Firefly.
We know that the following generation of the Swift were exported and sold in the Gulf as a Firefly indeed but i'm really not sure about this generation.

I found this Saudi GM dealership brochure from mid-late 80s that has photos of the showroom and one of them contains this car.
Trouble is that it's far away from the camera plus it's obstructed by a Buick Century and a Fleetwood :/

I'm going through few other Omani show's from 1991 or so just in case said car reappears (it does happen) but so far, no luck. Other Pontiac's like the 6000 and a Sunburst did appear though.

Okay, this generation was also sold as a Pontiac Firefly in this region.
Saudi ad from April 1986:

Rename to Pontiac Firefly.
