Nope
Nah it's from Japan though
It was only sold for 4 months under just it's model name (not using the manufacturers name) and by special order only. It was completely sold out in 3 months. As a result it a very collectible car and was able to achieve 79MPG at 60MPH from it's 1L 61HP engine.

PAO Nissan
The Nissan Pao, first announced at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 1987, is a retro-styled automobile from Nissan Motors. It was available as a three-door hatchback with or without a textile sun roof ("canvas-top"), the canvas top being the most collectible . The Pao was one of three fashionable spinoffs of the K10 Micra — the Figaro and Be-1 being the other two. Like the Figaro, the Pao was sold without the Nissan name and only by reservation from January 15 through April 14, 1989; orders were served according to their date of placing. The Pao sold out in 3 months and is a highly sought after and collectible car. Very few were made and the car is featured on permanent display in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York.
According to the article on Japanese Wikipedia, the name is a Chinese word describing a type of house used by nomads in Mongolia for assembly or meetings.
The engine was the 1.0 L (987 cc) MA10S, coupled with a 3-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission, the manual being the most sought after. The engine produced 62 PS (61 hp/48 kW) at 6000 rpm and 76 N·m (76 ft·lbf) at 3600 rpm.
It was designed as a fashionable city car in the mold of the Figaro, requiring just 4.4 m (14.4 ft) to turn and delivering up to 51 mpg (5.5 L/100 km) in the city and 79 mpg (3.4 L/100 km) at a steady 60 km/h (37 mph).
The chassis included rack and pinion steering, independent suspension with struts in front and 4-links and coil springs in back. It has a clamshell hatch in back, meaning the glass section swings up and the bottom portion opens down to create a tailgate.
