I remember falling for these as a kid - the retro styling made them stand out among the boring Yarises and Micras. Hard to come by these days, sadly.

Wait, they were supposed to be retro? I eventually understood the Trevis, but the Sirion??

Come on, it's pretty obvious they were heavily inspired by late 50s/early 60s European sports cars with that front end - not to mention the abundance of chrome. I was there, it was a breath of fresh air back then, believe me.

It took me years to realize the C3 was supposed to be a modern 2CV...

I find these quite original and pleasant too. Weren't very common back then but you could see some, especially in big cities. The duller next generation was more common though.

For me the inspiration for the front is clear, and it comes from Japan itself.

There's also a bit of E-Type Jag/original Lotus Elite in there too. Plus Gongora's link to a Japanese saloon makes me think Standard Eight.
