EXCLUSIVE SPY PHOTOS: Poor man's BMW X3?



Look at the taillights and the wheels...Looks like a direct copy of the new 3-series lights and the X5's wheels.

Anyone out there want to venture to guess whose vehicle this is?

Nissan? Hyundai? Kia?









Special thanks to RS.

Let me take a stab in the dark: Honda CRV?

Definitely not RDX... headlights and tailights don't match the concept drawings.

The headlights, side mirrors with integrated turn signals, and door handles look VW... but the interior doesn't look very German... dash looks like Lexus, but in a cheap way, so I'm going to have to say either Korean (likely Kia's version of the Santa Fe), or possibly an entry- level Lexus SUV based on the RAV4.

the more I think it's the new Kia Sorento... seeing how they copied the old Lexus RX300.

Look the the design, it has ugly front head light and also circus freak ugly rear light, so I'm going to guess it probably the new BMW X3. Can't a kia because kia has better quality interior than that.

It looks like a VW from outside, but with a Japanese interior, Toyota or Subaru!

The gauge trim is absolutely BMW. Who copied BMW? I can't help you with that.

One things for sure. It's Pathetic. Look at the IP, the center circle is right out of a X3/e46 (the way its flat at the bottom). The rear taillights look like the new 3 series. Can't these people come up with any original ideas???

Seeing as no one can decide whether it is a Kia or a Hyundai or a Mazda or a Lexus or an Infiniti, one can only assume that the old adage is true:

All asian cars look the same.

My stupidity license expired two months ago. I must get on to renewing it. Cheers for the reminder.

Neanderthal Monkey Boy? Now I know the truth. With all these stupid one liners, Byung must be a Hollywood script writer.

Well we all know Hollywood's obsession with car sacrilege. Why else would James Bond's Aston Martin Vanquish be Ford powered?

I think it could be the Infiniti version (rumored Infiniti CX) of this small Nissan SUV. The headlights are very similar.

The interior reminds me of the scalloped FX concept dashboards.

In addition, the door handles have the very circle bisected by rectangle look of current Infinitis.
