Funny, from this angle it gives me a big Acclaim/Spirit vibe, but obviously not one of those.  Of all the things to mimic.

Looks kind of like a Nissan Cedric Brougham  VIP, but with a generic Mercedes-style grille. If so, wouldn't be the first time a Japanese market car turned up in North Korea.

Yup, that’s an Y31 Cedric. Late model fleet spec they made well into 2000's.

Probably even the same grille, just with the badge removed, actually.

 Exactly the same vibe I was getting. Nice 90s shitbox, Glorious Leader.

It is. They seem to have made them with badgeless grilles too. The front bumper might be export market only as most photos show more rectangular blinkers (like the photo above).

Here’s a photo presumably from Saudi Arabia showing the same front bumper as the lhd NK car.

No idea. And clueless, radical liberal though I may be, I would love to see that regime collapse in my lifetime.
