I'll guess Maxima or Altima since Nissan still has a warehouse by the old headquarters. Is this Wilmington street?

Was it out totally on its own?
The times I've seen Toyota drive out cars this camo-d up they've usually got a convoy.

The rear roofline and C-pillar, to me, suggests a mid-sized Nissan/Infiniti sedan, but it also could (?) be a future-generation Lexus IS.

taillights and wheels remind me of updated IS but then again - there are 5 similar looking wheels on other brands.

looks too big to be an IS. the lower grill and hood area reminded me of a nissan altima when I first saw it. funny how others got the same impression

Might be the next generation GS. The wheels, roofline, rear bumper shape looks suspiciously similar to the LF-Gh concept car.

Based on front axle location, it is not front wheel drive.
So, Altima and Maxima are out. What else?
I will say GS.

From the back it looks like Subie, maybe new legacy?
