    Saw this driving down University Ave. today, anyone have any idea what it is? My friend and I were tossing around the idea of a Lincoln because of the grill, but we really have no clue...

    Dual exhaust, so no Sentra. Mirrors, grill, exhaust are wrong for Nissan entirely. Based on that grill and the exhausts, I'd say a domestic.

    I tend to agree that it looks like a Lincoln/Mercury product.

    Looks like you took the pictures on University in frog town right next to the old ford dealer. The only dealer left on that strip is a Chevy Dealers up west more. So I'm aiming for a chevy concept.

    AWDL, take your meds dude.

    We see disguised cars all the time up here in Duluth, and they've always got michigan plates, and they're always mopar products (usually jeeps, and accompanied by dodge pickups and mag-wags and the like).

    that said, the hood/grill/headlight shape looks sort of dodge-ish....

    but the wheels make me think lincoln.

    although the indent in the rear fenders makes me think volvo.

    the roofline/c-pillar makes me think altima

    Parked next to a Mercury Montego today at the post office. Same mirrors, same grill, same lines, the C-pillar is different, but that's about it. It's a merc.

    It seems lately that most of the low end companies have been trying to blend in with the big dogs.

    Hyundai is putting a V8 in a sedan? They MUST think they are bmw with an idea like that.
