What Is This Car?
A week or so ago when I was driving to work I saw this car as I was waiting at the traffic lights. All the details were covered in tape, and I had no idea what kind of car it was. And then I saw it again, but this time I had my phone at the ready and took a photo of it – and then saw it again a bit later on the way to work and took a (not so good) photo of the back of it (but at least it shows the scale of it next to the Škoda).
The question is, what car is it? I’m assuming it is a new car which is being tested, since we get a lot of them around Coventry, and I haven’t been able to find a picture of it on the internet yet. The badge was a large oval – not quite wide enough to be a Ford badge (and I can’t see why they would be testing round here), but it could just be an oval covering up something else. The front end looks very Jaguarish – it has that hungry cat kind of look to it. The back end looks like a BMW, and the sides look a bit Lexusy. Any ideas (or links to very obvious websites which I somehow managed to miss)?
Well, it appears to be an Infiniti FX50 – see http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/231643/
you sure it’s not the new Ford Kuga? http://www.ford.co.uk/kuga# looks very similar to me!
Yes, quite sure. It was definitely this ugly thing: http://jalopnik.com/382891/2009-infiniti-fx50-gets-reviewed-shaken-but-not-stirred-by-popular-mechanics
There’s obviously a legion of new ugly cars coming out from all different companies then!!!
