Saw a camo car, ID?

So I was driving to work on the 605 south, and before the 91 fwy, a car in light camo entered the fwy, and I managed to catch it on my dash cam. Couldn't get the front, but it was pretty flat, and low, with three(?) LED DRLs on each headlamp. The turn signal you can see on one pic from the back is elongated on the bumper.
Something makes me think of some kind of Lexus coupe?

Please excuse the watermark on the picture

Not sure. Does that gas cap suggest hybrid or maybe electric ?

Here's the LC concept for reference

oh yes! It definitely looks like the LC. The headlights from the link is pretty much exactly what I saw. For a car that isn't released, I thought it would have had more camo.

First car is definitely the new LC. They'll be going through testing phase for another 4-6 months.

2nd car could be anything, but I'm guessing an entry level American manufacturer.

Had no idea the Lexus LC existed until Joneill44 mentioned it. As for the second car, I would think it would be Toyota related since it has the front Lexus spindle like frown face LEDs that's reminiscent of those seen on the new Prius and Camry. However, that doesn't look like a Corolla.

The front of the second one remind me of the 2017 Elantra.



It appears to be a hatchback so maybe it's the Elantra GT?

It certainly does doesn't it? Surprised the Toyota/Lexus like LED elements on the front bumper though. The LED lights are angled a bit differently in the camo car, perhaps a refresh?
