New GTR-LIKE Car Spotted When I Was Driving Home!
 
3 Attachment(s)
So, I was driving North on Main Str. in my dirt covered 8 at exactly 5:47 pm Pacific Time and I spotted a car that's all wrapped up under tape and buncha fabric... I took some pictures of it and also got a video. Here are the pics, I'm putting up the video on youtube right now....

Sorry for the quality, I only had my cell phone to take pictures.

i've seen those exhaust tips before but can't place them, gut feeling is a lexus maybe, def looks lux-sedan though

i love seeing cars wrapped in this stuff, idk why.

dunno about the gtr stuff, you're obviously referring the tail-lights. don't look like them to me but good spotting anyways. gtr is wayyy wider

Spinning Sushi 08-30-2007 10:55 PM

I'll have a video I recorded while I was driving behind it in a second, it's taking me forever to upload it to youtube....

joyridevr6 08-30-2007 11:06 PM

Hyundai maybe. I have seen a similar car parked at one of the local hotels, so I took a closer look and it was a Hyundai. Do you get any side shots.

Spinning Sushi 08-30-2007 11:09 PM

I didn't unfortunately although... I did film it making a right turn. You can see the whole side of it there, it's at the very end of the video.

Finally, the video is finished on youtube... pardon my voice, I'm chewing on like 3 bubble yums at once.... lol

4 door sedan, looks like it might be Hyundai BH

Ike 08-31-2007 03:42 AM

That car is about as GTR like as a Chevy Malibu... I agree with teh Hyundai guesses.

tiltmode43 08-31-2007 06:21 AM

new hyundai sonata? Thats my best guess...

edit: after that vid it looked lexus-esque but anyone's guess is as good as mine haha

Moostafa29 08-31-2007 09:39 AM

Looks NOTHING like a GTR.

Hyundai

They wouldnt be putting camo on the IS-F. They car has already made the auto show rounds, and I personally saw two racing unmasked at Laguna Seca earlier this month along with thousands of others

I said GTR-Like due to the lights but in truth, I had no idea what it was.... It does look like a Lexus or a Hyundai now that I think about it.

exhaust tips are identical to my wife's Hyundai Santa Fe.

playdoh43 08-31-2007 01:51 PM

the tailights' LED dosnt match the IS, let alone the exhaust. tons of cars have exhaust pipes shapped like that. the shape looks like one of the upcoming new family mid sized sedans

Spinning Sushi 08-31-2007 01:51 PM

I have a quick question, it always bothers me. Let's say there's already a car out like for example, the Sante Fe. Why would the wrap up another Sante Fe if it's still the same generation? (Seen this happen to the Civics)

bulletproof21 08-31-2007 02:01 PM

Well the Santa fe is Hyundai's mid sized crossover SUV. So that pic is not of the Santa fe but just looks to be another Hyundai model.

Alucard 08-31-2007 02:06 PM

The taillights look like the new 2008 Lexus GS....

Maybe??

tksnobords 08-31-2007 04:47 PM

it could be alot of different cars...despite what it was....it is not a skyline...is that wrap on it to conceal its identity? when i worked at a chevy dealership...the aveo's came covered in white protective wrap bumper to bumper...and corvettes only had a little bit on the fenders...and its not because they came on an enclosed truck...mmmmmm

ryan031581 08-31-2007 07:57 PM

The rear reminds me of an Altima.

Conundrum 08-31-2007 08:10 PM

Some shots of the BH found on carspyshots, notice the tail pipe, shark fin antenna, shape and location of CHMSL (3rd stop light)

thecow135 08-31-2007 09:14 PM

no way its a IS-F or an A4 the window is curved at the end kind of...
looks like a GS tho...
btw i HATE the IS-F exhaust... just like the LF-A

Spinning Sushi 09-01-2007 12:24 AM

Man, I really wish I knew what car that was... I was all excited when I saw as I exited the freeway....

SayNoToPistons 09-01-2007 01:43 PM

For a second, i thought the reflections of your window grill vent was a diffuser for the car in front. WHy is that guy in traffic anyways? He was hungry?
