Guess That Car game - By Clues Only

Fiat 500. The 1936 - 55 model, the aforementioned Topolino nickname literally translates to Little Mouse, which is the name for Mickey Mouse in Italy.
 
As i said before it's not the Topolino, and the 500 Nuova was never known as Topolino. Think something much more recent.
 
Previous clue plus another one:
1- While being developed it's project name was that of a cartoon.
2- That project name is also part of the name of a very famous aircraft.
 
^ Nope. And remember: i've been talking about the car's project name, not the car's name itself.
 
Nope. The aircraft in question is rather well known. And BTW, it's military.
 
Yay! Correct!
It was know as Tomcat during its development.
 
Ok then:

1) Japanese
2) The vehicle has carried many names over the years and I will accept any of them. It is also a major victim of badge engineering. However ALL names it has ever carried are now defunct in the U.S. market.
3) Available in 2- or 4-door hardtop, or 2-door softtop bodystyles.
 
By hardtop, do you mean it is removable?
 
Sorry for being unclear. The two-door could have a removable hard top. The 4 door did not.
 
Chevrolet/Geo Tracker/Suzuki Samurai/Sidekick?
