Name that Car....





The pictures came out clear but small, the best I could do with my phone on NO notice. Its not every day that camo'd cars with michigan licence plates drive past me as I leave work.

This one got onto the 290 and then the 990 around Buffalo area (Amherst then towards Lockport, actually). Any idea what it is? or what it was doing here?

Re: Name that Car....

Judging by the camo, I'd say a Ford product. Size and time wise suggest the new Fusion. Just my thought.

Re: Name that Car....

Doesn't it seem a bit big to be a Fusion?

It does seem quite large, whose to say it is not the Lincoln Zephyr? There's one running around here in Michigan and it seems this is prime season for camo'd cars being prepped for the show season.

Yeah I agree it looks to big to be the fusion. I would have to agree that this could be one of the Ford Fivehundred varients. But I could be wrong.

It looks like the STS with that C pillar. I dont know if its a Ford just based on camo color.

I was thinking about the same thing. Maybe its the new S-Class fighter thing I just got done reading about in MotorTrend?? Actually, probably not, that deck doesn't look big at all. DTS maybe? Looks Malibu-ish to me.

You might want to post this on GMI.
