3 — Nissan Wingroad

The Wingroad station wagon is another car you’re forgiven for not being familiar with - it was never sold either in North America or in Europe. However, the Caribbean was on the list of its export destinations, so there it is. The model seen here was offered from 1999 to 2005 and came equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine.

4 — SsangYong Actyon Sport

In Canada, we’re familiar with the Korean automotive industry through the creations of Hyundai and Kia, but we shouldn't forget the smaller company SsangYong. It is the fourth largest manufacturer in South Korea and since 2011, it has been owned by Indian manufacturer Mahindra.

As for the Actyon model, it's primarily a compact SUV, but a pickup truck version is also part of the product offering.

Interestingly, the vehicle's licence plate here indicates that it's a model in the service of the local government.
