My fiancee snapped this pic of a car by our university. She said it had test equipment on it, and it looks like it has Michigan manufacturer's plate. Unfortunately she couldn't get a profile, 3/4, or front view. It looks familiar, but I just can't place it. Ideas?

Hummmmm...can't say!

Immmmmpala?

It's got that chrome bar that crosses the trunk...it's got the circular brake lamps. But all of this is in a new place, I've never seen that particular rear-end before. That chrome bar screams Impala to me, although I could still be wrong.

Perhaps this is the new one? A natural redesign? That would account for the chrome bar.

Dragon, I thought the exact same thing, but she told me it was definitely a compact sedan, about Cobalt or Corolla sized. Sorry I should have mentioned that. Good to know I'm not the only one who can't place it.

Well...maybe it's the new Cobalt? Those are supposed to be coming up soon, yeah? It definitely looks like a Chevy vehicle...I don't know how I can tell, but I just get that vibe from it...

CaptianSam · 04-02-2008, 10:47 PM

this is not the new impala ive seen it in person this is not it...

Kyle2k · 04-02-2008, 11:03 PM

Back end looks ugly lol. Chevy is goes with a quad taillight pattern for almost all of their cars though don't they?

That Chrome bar makes it look like a GM car to me too, but I can't place it either. The side view mirror looks too rounded though.

Camaro Lives On · 04-03-2008, 12:13 AM

the outer taillights (the lit up ones) look like a jetta, but the chrome but says GM, and those reflectors in the bumper say hyundai. i have absolutly no clue!
