The front end looks an awful lot like my Vibe.... and they're supposed to be coming up with a new gen sometime soon. Maybe that's it? Wait, no, Pontiac is using that two-port rounded-edge grille now.... hmm. No idea. But it's a hatch (have I got an eye for detail or what?)!

why are they covering the car in cardboard anyway?

Ran Kizama · 08-02-2006, 11:43 AM

That front center grill with the downward "V" shaped chrome center splitters and the overall "frumpy" design come off as Nissan to me. The design of the car seems to be a mix of a compact and a minivan. Perhaps to challenge the Dodge Caliber & Toyota Matrix market? Whatever it is, I won't be buying one.

More speculation of the new Corolla in Europe.

fnkngrv · 08-02-2006, 10:26 AM

That was a Joke! Looks like a Saturn body style to me.

ceres · 08-02-2006, 12:58 PM

The grille reminds me of a Subaru Impreza. The body makes me think of what the Chevy Aveo would look like as a 3-door car.
That bottom picture for the speculation of the Corolla looks like a Pontiac front.

ECHOKnight2000 · 08-02-2006, 02:22 PM

Does anyone know if I can order that body kit on line?

johnnyfive · 08-03-2006, 02:13 AM

St.Francis · 08-04-2006, 12:32 AM

I think it may be a Subaru R2

Katana · 08-06-2006, 06:44 AM

Yes I also think it's the R2.

weeze-dog · 08-06-2006, 01:48 PM

You do know that all that carboard and tape adds 200HP at the wheels baby.

Chaad32 · 08-06-2006, 03:45 PM

The R2 has high mounted tail lights...this one ha low mounted tail lights. My bet is that it is the Carolla

mikeukrainetz · 08-06-2006, 07:49 PM

ive never seen a test car so covered up before thats nuts.

its not the new Micra is it?

weeze-dog · 08-06-2006, 10:35 PM

Its not the micra, it has to be a US car. Whatever it is, it has to be from a company that puts their fuel doors on the drivers side, since I dont think they would cover it with all that crap. This would rule out subaru. Two, it has the euro fender turn signals, so its probably not not an american car company.
