Due to the fact that the main rear body support is just behind the rear struts, you might not notice any improvement by adding an upper bar. (or need it, but that is subjective)
 
However to answer your question, no one makes one, and I don't know of any front bars that you could adapt to fit the rear due to the bolt pattern, or the distance between the shocks.

Doesn't the paseo also have  a solid rear beam in the back as opposed to independent suspension? This would make it stiffer already, or am I mistaken? Maybe that is the reason no one makes one, no real difference?

But like someone said, ,with enough money you can make anything fit! :-)

the main reason to have any chasis modification is to make it stiffer or more solid. In the case of any non-hatchback car, you usually have enough rigitity in the back to negate the nessesity for any aditional strenghening of the chasis in the rear.
 
the torsion beam for the suspension really doesn't have a whole lot to do with it, in fact, I'd rather have independent suspension in the rear, it would allow for greater modification and would improve handling by reducing the amount of unsprung weight and also allowing for adjustment of the camber of the wheels.

O h yeah I agree with the independent suspension being better than a solid beam, but in the same token since it has a solid beam maybe manufactrers do not see it as modifiable and therefore the gain from a strut bar is not really worth it?
