Tonight I saw a report about Sadr City in Baghdad on Channel 4 (larger video here) and noticed quite a few Kia Besta minibuses and chassis-cabs, along with various Korean cars.
At 1:07 there's an old clip of militiamen with a car the reporter identifies as an Opel, but I think it's actually a Daewoo Nexia/Cielo (compare the tail lights).
At 1:30 there's a yellow Volga with an Iraqi number plate stuck over what I think is a Russian taxi plate.
I also noticed a couple of 'Brazili' Volkswagen Passats.
Also worth noting are the Chevrolet ambulances, which are perhaps part of US reconstruction aid. Older ambulances in Iraq are Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and Sevel vans (Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer or Citroen Jumper - I'm not sure which).
