Looks like the current Altima a bit. I wonder if GM or Ford is stylizing one of their sedans to look like one.

I696 near Woodward, eh?

Interesting, but it looks sort of like a Toyota. However they don't use that type of camo.

The aft edge of that back door is really weird. Nearly everybody curves 'em up around the wheelwell.

That does look like a Nissan roofline (or a Sebring's, sorta, but that's no Mopar). Ford is as good a guess as any. Interesting find.

It did but nearly all companies are on a 2-3 year refresh schedule.

The rear door on a G6 doesn't go all the way down (curves forward).

Not saying it's not possible, but doesn't look like it too me. IMO

Although the G6 does need a refresh IMO. I hate the current Pontiac front ends (maybe i've never liked them outside of 4th Gen TAs.)

It must be cheaper to make a mule with straight edges there than the final production curved ones.

What the heck is up with the rear window though?

Looks kind of like the 2010 Buick LaCrosse they have pics of on Leftlanenews.

That was going to be my reply, as well. Chris Doane posted about it in a separate thread.
