Can you identify this 80s/90s 4-door hatchback to help catch a thief?

Had an uncle ripped off when a jackwagon driving an actual wagon ripped the package right off his front porch...we were able to capture the perp and his vehicle with his porch camera, but I’m having trouble identifying exactly what the car is.

This is in the US, and I was thinking 1987-1993 Daihatsu Charade G100 but I don’t think it was ever available in the US (lower right photo).

The front windows are one piece, there are no wing windows, although it looks like it based on these captures (the perp has the driver door open giving the illusion of a light reflection).

Any help from you Opponauts would be appreciated!

My first thought was Mitsubishi Colt Wagon, but Civic Wagon isn’t out of the question.

Eagle Summit wagon. The strip along the door and bumper points in relation to the the wheel well match up.

The white wheels make it look like one, yes? From the mid late 80s ...

Will the cops even attempt to locate/contact/identify this guy? Do you have a face shot of him?

Wow, thanks for the fast responses everyone!

I’m pretty confident in the 1993-1996 Eagle Summit Wagon being the vehicle - the forward placement of the rear door handle is what sets this apart from the Civic and just about any other car.

Good thing about that is that since those are so rare, it probably won’t be that hard to find him.

I think I’m in the Colt Vista camp now, the rear door handle is too far forward.

Yeah my initial guess was civic but after I noticed the door handle it’s definitely the eaglebishi.

I think the Eagle etc.. It’s definitely not the Honda, they are more angular and I would just know it on sight.

That’s what I am hoping! If they have a face shot, then catching the SOB would be a sure thing as long as the vehicle is his?
