What do you think this car is?

Saw it on the 5 North around the Pasadena area. Michigan plates. I didn't get a picture of the front, but it looks really aggressive. Reminded me of an Evo. Of course it had camo also so all I saw were the headlights.

No pics of the front?

The roof rack looks like the Pontiac Vibe/Toyota Matrix to me. Are there any car headquarters around there?

No pics of the front. Too much traffic.

I'm sure there are a bunch of headquarters in So Cal. I'm even sure there are a lot of design centers in the Pasadena area also.

First time I'd seen a camo'd car like you see in the magazines.

I don't think it could be a Focus. The new Focus is on the Ford website and there is nothing that resembles it.

Because Hyundai's North American R&D center is near Ann Arbor, MI.
