Guess That Car game - By Clues Only

Definitely dead. Anyone wants to give it a go at reviving it?
 
Let's try to revive this with an easy one:
1. The car was designed and built for a big manufacturer by a small firm.
2. They were regularly transported in Boeing 747s.
3. It became sadly known as "all show no go" car.
 
Ok my turn.

1. Became known as the Japanese Citroen.

2. Uniquely fragile compared to the company's reputation
 
Was it ever actually related to any Citroen? I don't really think that's what's meant...
 
Sorry for lateness.

No was never related to any citroen.

3. Multi million $ loss for company.

4. Shares a design signature with a certain car that hits "88 miles per hour"
 
Nissan Cherry (Pulsar)?

I can think of other 2 but I don't think they meet all the clues:
Subaru SVX - design signature and multi million $ loss but doubt about the other two.
Isuzu Piazza

- - - Updated - - -

Ah, perhaps the Hyundai Excel?
 
Araracd got it.

You shouldn't have 2nd guesssed yourself though, you had it the 1st time with the Subaru SVX.
 
This next one shouldn't be too hard.

Clues
1. Its designer produced some of the most stunning sportscars in the world.
2. Its engine is known for its reliability.
3. At the end of its life it was produced for a single country.
 
Volkswagen Beetle?
 
Golf mark one?
