No really. Built in Ireland during the late 1950s, it took American design cues to appeal to the US market. Sadly, it failed for it was heavily flawed. For a car as big and heavy as it was, it only had a 1.5L Austin A55 engine. If it had a puncture, you couldn't change the wheel without dropping the axle. And the fibreglass body panels were somewhat weak - corner too sharply and the door would fling open.
Oh dear.

That seems like a fun game, corner as fast as you can and see how many body parts fly off.

And this is why my country can't manufacture cars.
We don't understand anything automotive.

Mopars would have an unfair advantage.
