I would say so, for 1976 timeline.

Most Toyota plants outside of Japan were only building for their local markets at that time.

I think some Aussie made Mitsubishi's were exported to USA in the late 70's though......??

We've seen that before. Some lively discussion here on who's going to win the traffic light grand prix - I've got a fiver on the Cav. Is there a faster car than a rep in a Cav?

Some Wiki digging suggests Plymouth Arrow, a Chrysler badged Mitsu Colt Celeste for the US market. Profile fits the coupe's in the pic that I originally posted.
