From the lines and the small glimpse of the taillights, I’d say its the new 2007 Altima… but that’s just my guess… definitely not a Mazda or a Hyundai…

I’m going to put that camouflage on an ‘88 Mazda 626 and see if it puts the car world in a tizzy

Man, I hope they take all the tape and black stuff off before selling it

Lets just let it remain a secret, it’d be better for whoever made the car if. If anyone find out who makes this car for sure, their reputation as a credible automaker will be shattered. UGGGGLLLYYY

LOL I know it’s Korean because it looks like so many things and nothing.

It’s the new Ford Focus XLT. They used an Epica-like shell as camo. I bet this picture was captured near an Exxon gas station in Dearborn. Ford only uses Exxon gas.

lol.. Agreed, Kieran. Right on, Sean! Keep up the great work!

Props to Sean, it takes a true hardcore car nut to recognize a new chevy that no one will care about

The vehicle looks like the Chevy Epica, made under that name by GM Daewoo and due for launch worldwide by the end of the year.

Its an Epica for sure, I just logged in a looked at it, and that was the first car that came to mind. I saw the Epica in person at the Geneva show. Look at the curled headlamps, and the terrible wheel to body proportion typical of GM products. Its an Epica…. no doubt about it. Great PR stunt by GM though, make everyone think its a Japanese sedan before launch… makes people favorably compare thier sedan to the Japanese set as a credible competitor..

Sean nailed it. It’s the Epica for sure. As for the design… a big yawn is all I’ve got to say.

I’ve got to give it to Sean, it’s got to be the Chevy Epica.

phils right… the headlight seem to say acura… like a mini RL…
but theres a striking similarity with the epica bumper and that car’s…

The front end actually looks a bit like an Acura.

By: Phil

Definitely not Corolla. Toyota’s side mirrors don’t look like that. Side mirrors are actually something that Toyota really needs to work on. The mirrors on Lexii look hideous.

It is a 1989 Ford Tempo GL SVT edition mule. Duh?!?

By: kuules

Thats Chevrolet Epica/Daewoo Tosca. The same front bumper, pilars, mirrors… Maybe its the Suzuki version of Chevy.

And what Hyundai would that be? Its neither of the two current ‘brand new’ sedans.

It’s defintely a Hyundai. The grill does not follow the nissan design language, but does follow the Hyundai.

Good camouflage + bland, generic design = mystery car

By: Hugo

The Altima would look edgier and have the wheels farther out in the wheel wells. At first I thought this was a Daewoo-made Suzuki Verona or something like that but It’s clearly an Epica

By: Kieran Slattery

Kieran Slattery — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 23:06:42 +0000

oh i think its the epica too, i was just saying that it looked like a mitsu

By: brent

domestic for sure. Epica gets my vote.

LOL, you people are dense. What more proof do you need than that pic of the undisguised Epica? It’s all the same!

I would have voted Altima too, but after seeing that pic there’s no doubt in my mind that it’s the Chevy. Guess the camo did it’s job.

For some reason, i thought that when i first looked at it, i thought Mitsubishi. I think its because i see a little V thing in the front grill. But i cant remember if mitsubishi has anything in the works that would fit this. It probably isnt i mitsu, its just what i thought of when i first saw it.

Altima… but thats a nice looking Chevy.

By: Northeasterner

Northeasterner — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 22:15:47 +0000

I vote Altima, too!

By: Sampson

It does look kinda like that Epica… but could be the Altima… boring cars at any rate

D’oh. D’oh indeed.

sorry, I can’t tell if the prototype has side mirror blinkers. But even the C-pillar and rear door opening are the same.
