Infiniti M30 (aka Nissan Leopard), circa 1990. Basically a spiffier 2-door RWD version of the contemporary Maxima. Infiniti pretty much lived on G20 sales in those days, so they're an uncommon sight.
Aah the Pontiac LeMans (nee 1984 Opel Kadett, with many other versions - ie. Daewoo Nexia - as the design worked its way down the food chain), ca. 1988.
Back in the day my dad and a good friend entered a contest where a blue one just like that was the grand prize. My dad's friend won! My dad won a washer...he made out better than his friend.
The Volvo did change nomenclature for the last year. I know the sedan changed to the S90, and I believe the wagon did too. I think it was just for '97, the last year we got it.
Opel did not exist in Brazil, so that model was badged a Chevrolet Kadett in that market. My brother owned one. 1.8l gas engine, pretty slow and really not a very good car.
A co-worker had a picture up in her cubicle, I asked if I could scan it in and print it. She took the photo while visiting Europe, also snapped a Smart ForTwo (too easy for this group).
She does not know the year, I'm guessing 70s? We don't know about that.
Ford Corsair. A rebadged Australian-made Nissan Pintara, sold under the "Button Plan" (something to do with... oh, I don't know, but it involved a lot of gratuitous rebadging)
The Pintara was just an Aussie-fied version of your Nissan Stanza. However, it was unreliable and bland and pretty much single-handedly took down Nissan Australia. After that, all Nissans were imported.
The Pintara and Corsair also had a Oceania-only "SuperHatch" version. This fugly hatch/wagon hybrid.. thing (ahead of its time? yeah, like the Aztek was...)
I suppose that one was easy for me though... being Australian and all. :P
Oh, and I'm not competitive. In fact, I'm probably the least competitive person I know. So I win. :P (Yes, I shamelessly pilfered that line from a show... can you guess which one?)
The Citroen AMI 6 in your photo has double headlights, which appears to be a modification, as the original generally had oblong single lights. I always thought the AMI was quirky rather than ugly.....
I believe it was exported, yes. The one I saw (that encouraged me to post the pic) was LHD. I know the normal A40/Devon was exported here, with "Austin of England" badging.
Bumpy - I have an idea! It's a 61 or 62 or 63 Ford F100 long bed! I don't believe there was any noticeable differences between the 3 years, so I acn't pin it down any closer. I hope you know!!
For a few years in the early '60s, you could get the bed and cab as one piece. In practice, this didn't work out so well as repairing a damaged bed was much more difficult that just replacing it, and sometimes the body and frame would get out of alignment and pinch the cab doors shut.
I figured that much would be obvious. Anyway, the Skyline in question was declared the winner of the 1992 Bathurst 1000 (think of it as a sort of Australian analog to the Daytona 500) after it wrecked twice in a blinding rainstorm that redflagged the race. This decision was greeted with a massive chorus of boos from the locals, who were tired of seeing Japanese turbo cars kick the crud out of their favorites. One of the drivers responded by referring to the crowd as something that almost rhymes with "marse voles". This debacle precipitated the Aussies to rewrite the rules to effectively outlaw the Skyline from competition in 1993 and eventually led to the creation of the current V8 Supercar series, where Holden and Ford can slug it out by themselves.

The Infiniti M30 was also available as a ragtop...

Nobody wants to take a crack at the Skyline?
My fave. The later models aren't as cleanly designed.

Any takers? :P
