SPIED: What Car Is Roaming Around SoCal?

Looks like a Hyundai/Kia product. If not that possibly a Ford or a Fiat/Chrysler product.

a new Buick

That first image looks like a Peugeot from a few years back. That being said, it causes me to look at Kia/Hyundai.

The devil in me wants to say it's a Toyota of some kind with a FT-86 type front-end grafted onto it. The FT-86 maybe Toyota's premiere example of its new design language.

I'm guessing a Mazda MPV

Looks like a Toyota Prius MPV with decent wheels

-Ford Focus Wagon
-Kia Elantra wagon version
-New Mazda 5

Kia Rio 5

Ford C-Max

I'm guessing the same as you, laurent.

I say it is a C max, but I totally wonder why they disguised it when they have it sitting out clear as day at the auto show.

It's Hyundai/Kia, you can tell by the window line and wheels. If you look at some Hyundai prototypes, they use very similar wheels.

This is probably the Ford C-Max competitor, the Portico. If you remember, the Portico was well into the testing stages before the car was axed when minivans went off the market. I had gotten confirmation in 2009 about it.

Now that the segment is returning with smaller MPV's,Hyundai is now making a move. The design from the original car is way outdated, so you can see some of the styling you find on the Sonata and the Elantra.

Now I'm not saying it is a Hyundai, it could also be a Kia.

Also note where the badge is hidden and it's size.

Note that the camoflauge is styled like on previous Hyundai/Kia test vehicles.

Also note that the way the lights are covered is the similar
way it was with the Azera and Elantra.

Looks like it could be a Hyundai/Kia since the lights seem to be stretching back to the windshield. I will guess that it's the new Elantra Touring model, since the 2011 model is still based on the old Elantra platform. If this gets anywhere close to 40MPG like the base Elantra, they could have another huge hit on their hands. They could add direct-injection, an 8-speed transmission (like in the revised Genesis sedans) and possibly the 2.0T engine from the Sonata to handle the extra weight. Just de-tune it a bit for the extra MPG.

Also just noticed the turn signal repeaters on the side mirrors. Those are in the Elantra Limited models already.

Hyundai/Kia mini van! Stay tuned!!

i40?

I bet this is the Portico.

It is too tall to be the i40, maybe an i60?

It's the Ford C-Max...The Hybrid to be exact
