Spy Shots: It's the all new 201x ... something?

One of our alert readers was driving down Woodward Avenue in suburban Detroit when he spotted a prototype and quickly snapped off a few photos. That's where the mystery starts. We're honestly not sure what this sedan is.

Being in Michigan, it almost certainly belongs to either the Detroit three, Toyota, Nissan or Hyundai, all of whom have technical centers in the area. From the front view, an elliptical badge area is visible which points to Ford, Toyota or Hyundai. Judging by its footprint, it's clearly a mid-size to large car and the shape of the mirrors is consistent with the new Sonata.

So based on these few clues, we're going to climb out on the proverbial limb and predict that this is most likely either a next generation Hyundai Azera or even the new Camry. Post your own guesses below.

I think it's a Nissan.

 

The single exhaust outlet screams 4 banger model IMO

 

Ford Fusion is my guess.

 

Was I the only one caught off guard by this ?

 

+1 for Nissan.

 

altima facelift?

 

Actually Im thinking its the new Focus. You can clearly make out the outline of the oval Ford symbol, the grill and lower grill, plus the headlights in the blurry front pic are pretty much a perfect match.

 

focus or sentra...

 

Pontiac or Ford.

 

New generation yawn

 

I'm pretty sure it's not a Pontiac.

 

That's the track edition. stripped down to the bare minimum. not putting on badges saves 10 grams in weight

 

what about all the camo paneling

I think its the new Dacia Sandero....

 

Haha, that's what I thought. It does look like a Dacia
