Don't hit me with an e-hammer if I'm wrong, but is that a Convertible Turbo? I didn't know they made those

Yep, it's the Turbo Convertible, the un-facelifted version

Saw and sat in a Cayenne Turbo S for the first time in that showroom!

I spotted this Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk today:



I don't think I'd ever seen a Studebaker before so it was quite cool. Apologies for the crappy picture, I was using my phone.

I saw a CGT on the highway today, i tried to snap a pic but it was going waaaaay too fast!

Alfa Romeo 164 on California highways!

How freaky, I spotted this baby on the way to work today



Studebaker Avanti

She was sounding nice too.

P.S.: This psycho soccer mom in front of me ran the red light before this, just about getting t-boned from a car at about 50mph.

^ Ooh, that's a rare one. No pics of the awesome front?

[Silverstar]

Pulled around me too quick to get a mirror shot at the light before.

The front is...in the eye of the beholder I would say . From a distance I thought it was an AMC Pacer rolling up on me!

Hi, this was sighted on an Autobahn near Munich yesterday....

Anyone have a clue what this might be, or do you think someone would be willing to buy that?

[Shawn]

^ Hard to tell. Camo aside, it's not a very clear picture, is it?

I'm going to make a wild guess and say some sort of upcoming Saab?

[Blayde]

Looks BMWish to me, one of those short 3ers

Yeah, the picture is shit, hard to shoot a nice photo with a HTC while driving 160kmh and steering with one hand....

Other than that, I'm with Blayde - being near Munich it's definitely a beamer.... but what exactly? Reminds me of the old e36 3series coupes.

[Blayde]

All those 3 series compact were 2 doors though, maybe a 1 series sedan? :p

Yeah, I know, but the e36 sedan had a longer boot, so despite the 4 doors this concept reminds me of a compact.

1 series sedan, lol.

The final product will probably look a lot different, but it does almost seem to be a step away from bangle-ism.

The window line is totally nonBMW, looks more like a VW window line and since that is the only defining feature that can be seen, I'd go with VW.

[klankymen]

You're right - no Hofmeister Kink.

The back window could be surrounded by black tape to give the illusion of a window's frame, to disguise the "kink" under the camo.

[H0nzik]

^ Don't know, the rear doors wouldn't open in that case and there's a person sitting in the back, so that's quite unlikely. But it seems quite likely that there is another window in the C-pillar and the X6 has that as well, so in case the marketing gurus at BMW have discovered another niche that desperately needs another pseudocoupe-hatchback, it might as well be a BMW.

[blazer]

might be the new 1series hatch

[Firecat]

I saw a Ferrari 599, Gallardo Spyder, and Murcielago all within 2 days (plus several Maserti's and Bentley's)....too slow with my camera though. Oh yeah, and 7 minutes from home (3 minutes from work) an Aston Martin dealership opened up.
