Mystery Car
As I was driving home this afternoon, I looked in the mirror and noticed the car behind me heavily masked with black tape hiding the features of the front end (and no number plate).
As it passed I realised it was most likely a new yet to be released model, so I fumbled in my bag, pulled out the DSLR and managed to get this one shot before I got caught by the lights and lost it. Any ideas what it is? 
EDIT: As requested, size of file reduced to make it dial up friendly. Friend of mine thinks its a Toyota Aurion due to be released here shortly. http://paultan.org/archives/2006/02/12/toyota-aurion/ Last edited by myarhidia on Fri Apr 28, 2006 5:48 pm, edited 2 times in total.
Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
Immediate thought was a BMW, but if the logo is that black bit covered where the boot is, not a lot of manufacturer's logos are an ellipse.
I'm guessing Subaru or Toyota. The rear lights fairly similar to an Impreza Hassy, Leica, Nikon, iPhone
Come follow the rabbit hole...
I'd say a Mazda personally.

was talking to a mate about this shoot and he sent me this link, guess is its a new camry,
http://www.toyota.com/camry/index.html? ... AMRY_INDEX if you go into the 3d tour theres a decent shot of the rear and it looks pretty similar. personally i would have gone for bmw aswell looking at the boot lid. you get what you get, always learn from the mistakes
Not a BMW because....
Exhaust is on the wrong side..... Number plate cutout panel isnt big enough for Euro plates.... No tow hook cover..... Rear head rests dont look BMW.... Non tinted side mirrors and wrong shape... To much crap hanging under the car.... Looks to be a FWD (BMW dont make FWD)..... No radio fin on the back above the rear windscreen.... Fuel filler is on the wrong side.... Key hole on the boot lid... BMW's have two badges (BMW roundel and model/engine) not four badges... I think its some Jap car trying to copy Euro styling, perhaps a Toyota or Subaru. Jamie

Certainly does look like the rear end of the Camry less one exhaust

Its almost certainly the new Toyota Camry, probably a test mule. Toyota have their HQ out at Woolooware hence the NSW trade plates.

Yep.
Definitely the Camry, and the reason for the taped-over badges is simple, really: I too would be ashamed to be seen in a Camry.  g.

Yes, it's new model of Camry! Seen it last week with the all the covered badges and features up to the Hunter area, they did evaluation riding on this new test mule. Not smarter like the one of the test Hyundai car which our member pluckaduck drove it to the mini meet last year. Birddog114

Myarhidia, are you able to reduce this image down to a more reasonable size, say 200k, so our more download challenged members can look at it?
 650k is big, you are actually leaving a print quality jpg on the net.
As requested  Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
yes.. it's the new camry.

interesting observation - how can you tell a FWD from the exterior?  D70s/D200; Tokina 16-50mm 2.8; 18-70DX ; 50mm 1.8 ; 80-200mm 2.8D ; SB600 + Stofen Omini Bouncer
No drive shaft running down the middle of the car underneath? Cheers, John
