okay...a second picture to make it easier...

Had a bit of an unsavory reputation in the West but remains a symbolic and much-loved vehicle of a nation. I believe it still holds the record for the most number of models/variants that it can be had in.

Had it been the first image only - I would have gone with the VW LT...but in the second image the wiper blades should be fixed a bit lower I guess so it has me doubting 😕

Ford Falcon

Never thought twice about the meaning of Hayabusa (if at all thought twas some sorta hurricane or type of wind) so it’s pretty cool and also apt that it’s Falcon in Japanese
