The Abarth Punto Evo was dressed up inside as well as out, but despite looking the part and some positive reviews at its introduction the model failed to capture the hearts of buyers and fairly soon faded away.

Opel's second-generation Ascona was launched in 1975 and is shown with mostly quite basic trim in this Dutch brochure. The model initially came with three engines, each with two stages of tuning. The range started with an 1196cc 55bhp model. #carbrochure #Opel

A slightly widened version of the Suzuki Cervo Mode was built by Maruti in India starting in 1993, and was called the Zen. Most models had a 1.0-litre engine. It was ironically exported to Europe as the Suzuki Alto.

With looks in the latest style and an impressive interior, the 2.2-litre six-cylinder 'Grosse' Borgward pitted the company against Mercedes-Benz, which dominated the German luxury car market at the time. The Borgward was the first car from Germany to feature air suspension.

The first Panhard to carry the Dyna name had been the X model, a radical departure from the company's pre-war luxury car tradition. It was an acknowledgement of the austere times facing France in the late '40s, and provided a technically-interesting alternative to Renault's 4CV.

The Fusca looked almost unchanged externally, although Brazilian models evolved somewhat differently from the German original, as well as from the Beetles built by VW in Mexico, the other major production centre. This 1996 Fusca had a 1.6-litre engine with catalytic converter.

After its extremely long European production run finally ended, the eternal VW Beetle continued to go from strength to strength in Latin America. The Brazilian-built version was called the VW Fusca - the 1996 model features in this brochure. #carbrochure #Volkswagen

Kia's brochure cover described the Magentis - in 2.0-litre LE or SE versions - as 'the thinking person's executive saloon'. Inside a curious cartoon represented the type of 'thoughtful drivers' who recognised value and had other things to spend money on.

In the 21st century Subaru revived the name, unhyphenated, in the new R2, a 5-door 660cc kei car shown in Type S trim in this 2005 brochure. There was also a more distinctive 3-door, the R1. The pair would be the last of the uniquely Subaru-designed kei cars.

The leaflets in this thread were sent to me by Iranian manufacturer Pars Khodro in the early 80s, after the country's revolution severed many western ties. They show a bewildering number of models which may or may not have still been in production. #carbrochure #ParsKhodro
