Think the chain tensioner might be a common part.

based on flat nose and short tail, I’m guessing Buick GSX or maybe Cuda?
Wheelbase looks short though. I suspect I’m going to be very wrong and it’ll be a Costco PowerWheels kids toy or something

My first thought was something like the new EV Charger, but the Sonnet looks like a better profile fit.

dang nanxun you are good! It does look like the SAAB Sonnet III (I didn't know myself).

What a peculiar vehicle, this is my first time even seeing photos of it. It's parked in my building and always covered and I've always wondered what it is.

Wait, but are you absolutely sure it's a Sonnet 3 if you've actually never seen it uncovered??

Now I'm really curious - I was going to guess Alfa GTV6, but the proportions don't look exactly right.

srika, you GOTTA just go lift that car cover ... just a leeeetle bit would be enough to see what it is!

I keep looking at it and thinking that its stance is like a miniature funny car.

I am not absolutely sure but, and I am not trying to boast but, I do feel like I have superior geometric / spatial skills, and seeing what I see on the contour and lines of that car cover, and seeing the car you shared photos of, I do feel I can reasonably deduce and conclude that that is the vehicle in question.

Next you'd see my mugshot on the nightly news

Just walk by with a ping pong ball and accidentally dropkick it under the cover. No one likes ping pong balls under their Saab, it's bad luck.

well I haven't peeked under the cover (and don't plan on it) - but I do want to add a detail - the car is TINY. I mean looks smaller than a Miata.

And I'm seeing its 153" long. Yeah, that computes.

Looking back at the photos of the mystery covered car & the subsequent Saab photos. The door mirror bulge makes it seem more likely.
Didn't realize they were so tiny.

another snap - these spots are average size, they will fit a RAM 2500 but it'll be very snug.
