exactly! WHat is that rear 3/4 window!?!??!

 

I just spent entirely too much time on ChatGPT and I think have arrived at.... CLS. Dunno what year though.

 

2G Genesis G70

 

Here is a 2018

 

oh dang on teh G70!!!!

 

I'll say, impressive for Genesis, that it had me immediately thinking Mercedes

 

yeah - I think the giveaway is - I mean the seats on the first pic, you can see there is no actual indication its MB -

 

What I mean is, that design on the seat right below the headrest - does not look like MB. And that's because, it isn't.

 

Right, but the quilted leather made me go that direction, and the grab handles in the roof, and the overhead console. All look very MB to me.
When I couldn't find any Germans to fit that door design, I looked at Alfa, then remembered Kia/Genesis had a quilted leather option

 

Thought I'd post this interior pic of a MB AMG CLA45 as a possibility, but the seats are a dead giveaway that it's a Genesis G70.

Nice job, 00TL-P3.2!!

 

bump

 

Looks like another De Tomaso to me.

 

 

Another clue ... which should do it.

 

Good call on the deTomaso. For some reason it reminded me of the lancia James drove in one of the GT episodes. The pillars were completely different especially the back. But in my mind DeTomaso only made the Pantera.

 

And the Pantera is typically the one that comes to mind. The father of one of my HS friends had a Pantera and it was pretty cool to see it up close and in person.

 

yeah they are cool, my neighbor had one, I have a bunch of pics. He did a lot of work to it to get it back in good shape. Riding around with him in it, the attention was crazy. Lots of thumbs up, people asking what it is, etc.

 

Don't know if this is a tough one or not, but here it goes.....

 

Mitsuoka MX5 thing? Oroshi, or something like that?
Mistuoka Rock Star, the Orochi was a much different looking car.

Did not Google cheat on this one

 

Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice with C2 Corvette bodywork???

 

BTW, model is Deuville.

So, DeTomaso Deuville.

 

TIL DeTomaso made more than one car

 

Dunno if there are any rules in this thread so feel free to delete this if it does.

 

FR, v engine, interesting muffler setup...

 

It's a Mitsuoka Rock Star. 2011. And you're right about the Miata thing hence no interior pics.

 

It's relatively modern, looks like a 2 seater configuration based on the size of the tunnel, manual trans, not European... 370Z?

 

Nissan or Infiniti

 

Close.

 

 

Looks like a Maserati Spyder

 

 

Yup. Nailed it! c. 2003. Nice job!!

That "kammback" rear end is interesting ....

 

Was a guess on the shape & a couple image searches to confirm. The gas door was throwing me off.

 

Here's an obscure one:

 

Machiavelli comes to mind

 

Hmmmm, on first impression looks like a early aughts Merc SLK with a slightly longer ass and a bad perm!

 

Hint:


 

Ohhhhhhhh (roe-cheeee), right. Got it.


Huh. Based on the NSX platform. Did not know that. (Looked too big and wide to be based on an MX5 or SLK.)

 

I never knew it was NSX derived.
I just recall it being on TG:UK once.

Here's the hardtop version

 

Im not sure how it is in person, but every photo I’ve seen of that thing, I always think it’s the absolute ugliest car ever.

I mean the Aztec is ugly, but at least it tried to be functional and had plastic bits to be tolerant to scratch and rust.
