What car is this? **We have a winner!**

So, a member of my autoX team got a new car and is making everyone guess what the hell it is.

I'm stumped, but he just posted this clue...and i figured the stock spolier is unique enough that one of you would know.

You sure it's the stock wing not an aftermarket one? If it's not i would guess Honda Prelude. That's the only car i know that has the trunk this flat.

There are other cars (like the Nissan 240SX and etc.) but that wing can't be stock. I looked and haven't been able to find a wing of that design that comes factory from any manufacturer.

Prelude comes to mind once I saw the pic..... dunno...

what's that thing at the top tip of the spoiler? I can't tell for sure if it is part of the spoiler or just the background...

Don't thinks so...the forrester stock spoiler doesn't look like that, it extents outward, and you should probably see the roof rack in the pic.

I thought about that too but I think the SRT's side profile is too triangular.

I have the XT and the OEM wing protrudes from the back lid -- it doesn't sit on top of the back of the roof.

My first thought was it's a lancer but I've never seen that wing before. They all seem to have the picnic-bench on the back.

It does have a small wing, but it's not as angular as the one we have here

Potential means he has to put some work into it, a truck can do autoX if you put enough work into it

It's a Vibe with sport package

Maybe a Matrix?


I thought it was an SRT-10 also...but after looking at pics I ruled it out...

This is retarded. If we keep guessing, we'll never know because the firstl poster doesn't know himself!

Does it look like there a glass portion at the rear tip of that wing? The car might be like 5-7 years old.
