Any idea what car this is?



I was sent an image on Photoswap on my iPhone a few days ago I've been trying to figure out what car this is.... I've looked at many foreign and domestic car websites but still can't figure out what the heck it is! Anyone have an idea?

I'm stumped. I would think it's not available here, and that's it's either a Toyota or a Hyundai.

You got me. Looks similar to some Toyota models, so it could be a cheap Chinese knockoff.

Am I missing something? All I'm seeing is a front end. Is that the only portion of the car you got a pic of or did you get the whole car?

My first guess was an Avalon, my second was a Maxima and both were wrong, FML.

Saw this in Beijing a couple of weeks ago. It's a MYBO.

Yup, all I have is the front. Usually, I could tell what it is from just that front part, but I still can't figure it out. I'm pretty sure that picture was from somewhere in Europe. My guesses were the Toyota Crown or Avalon or Altima. Still can't figure it out though...

Here's the mystery car:


Avalon:


Crown:


Altima:


I still don't think it's any one of the above...

It's not a Sonata. Not a real one, anyway. The lights and fogs are different.

Maybe not but its def not the sonata. The sonata has pretty sharp creases, on the front end this car the sheet metals line are more rounded. Haha Coch you were prob right with your first post, some atrocious chinese car I hope we never experience first hand

Damn, I can't believe that one went over my head. The Kia Cee'd is one of my favorite cars! I've been keeping tabs on its progress for a long time now.
