Spy Pics of Unknown Tall Wagon
I was driving on the 605 freeway Saturday morning and happened to spot this camoflaged vehicle driving on the road. Anyone have any ideas as to what it is and who the manufacture is? After reading the other thread about the MB GST, I thought that it might be that, but upon further examination, I didn't think the porportions were right.
So let's here some opinions.

Well...it's not the GST. I know that for sure. I helped with spy pictures of the GST (see them on www.thecarconnection.com) four years ago. Caught them testing near Keystone, Colorado.
My opinion is that it could be a Lexus or next generation MDX. It's too tall for a GST. It's too long, also. Looks a lot like a Lexus though...maybe a long wheelbase RX330? Their new crossover? The exhaust looks like something by Lexus.
I'd say you NEED to send those pictures to Brenda Priddy, an autospy. You could get some money for those shots (seriously!) PM me for her email address. I made a nice chunk of money for spy pics

kinda looks like the 400H, but that front being so far away and being masked so bad, I can't tell...
CG, post that pic at http://carspyshots.proboards2.com/index.cgi?board=spy , and see if anyone can help you over there.
The sides are what throws me off... looks too bulky to be the 400H, doesn't it?
Junkster, whose probably being fooled by the tape

Wow, nobody even thinks it could be the new MDX?
MDX = dual exhaust
MDX = wide stance
MDX = SUV styling with room for 3 rows
MDX = due for redesign for MY 2006?
Just a guess? Obviously its well disgused and the front shots are too far away.
Surprised nobody guessed it first.

But that is actually a probable guess...it seems to have the characteristics.

The bumper seems to ride on the car too low to be the 400h, and the taillights dont exactly look the same as the one shown in the picture. also the lights on the bumper arent there, i dont believe its the 400h
