Plymouth used Horizon as model name.

It's a Dodge Omni : Link to "memimage.cardomain.net"

While based on the Talbot Horizon design, the US Horizon/Omni was built in the USA and not in France. Early cars from 1978-80 used a carburated 1.7 VW engine similar to that used in the US spec Rabbit (Golf A1). Beginning in 1981, they used the same 2.2 engines as the Chrysler K-cars (Reliant/Aries).

and why not a Plymouth Horizon? without the front grill it's kinda hard to tell since the cars are almost identical.

Well, the car was originally conceived by Chrysler France, so it could be considered as a French car, even if built in USA (like the Japanese cars built in USA are not American cars...)

That's not an Omni, is the Assan Fiat Spazio

For me it looks more like an Omni than a Spazio...

it's definitely an Omni/Horizon with a new Assan grill...it's just hard to tell if it's a Horizon or Omni. :D

No, this one's definitely a Horizon. If you look very closely, it still has the original grill (but just painted black and with a new Assan logo in the center) and that grill makes that the Plymouth version http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2777/4215015610_e9132d14b4.jpg the Dodge version would've looked more like this Link to "1.bp.blogspot.com"

It is a Dodge Omni with "Assan" front grill, trying to look like a Fiat 147 Spazio. But, the scene was recorded in USA, not in Argentina

this looks like a 1984-1986 ( time of movie ) Horizon grille being blacked out and the Pentastar covered.. Omni's grille is not like this
Omni Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" ( 1989 pictured but they had the same from 1984 to 1990 )
Horizon Link to "oldcarbrochures.org"

1982 would be like this for Horizon , for Omni
