  Wheels — Maserati Quattroporte.
  Awkward, shadow-attracting inset door crease — new Opel Insignia.

  Jag XF lines along the CLS “4-door coupe” theme. 7-series BMW wheels.

  The whole model looks like a luxury version of the Ford Mondeo hit with the Lincoln/Jaguar stick–more than a passing resemblance.

  The rear quarter profile has a bit of BMW X6.

  Still, it’s nice.

  Citroen C6 from the side (without the long third window)

  I think we’ve definitely found the point at which rims become too large to look good. Nice body, but those wheels are way out of proportion.

  I love Audi’s recent designs, especially after they added ‘the mouth’ a few years ago. But this L.E.D. mascara shit is pretty hideous. My home boy Saab started it too. Yuck.

  In truth I think it’s a pretty cool look–but it’s very much Mondeo meets X6. Maybe this is Audi’s payback for the hash Ford made of Audi styling themes in the Five Hundred?

  The grille came from the Weber Grill.

  The back is definitely from the X6, and it’s the only memorable part of this vehicle for me. Which is why I don’t like it at all. Perhaps if this came out before the X6, I wouldn’t object so much. But since that Bimmer abomination came out, that’s all I can think of when looking at this thing.

  Is it a platform share with Porsche Panamera?

  What’s with those wheels! Does that thing stand about 10ft tall?

  Spot the influence? I guess it has to be LSD.

  The back-end shot reminds me of Iron Man’s helmet. And the wheels are right off a covered wagon, right? Huge!

  5 letters: BMW CS. way 2 busy for me. but audi will most likley put it into production as the a7 and claim “the worlds first” such and such bull shit crossover coupe or watever. seriously though whats with the germans having to create all thse new niche markets with cars. like bmw and their new Progressive Activity Sedan. from the pics ive seen the PAS looks like a baby X6. and wats a sportback? and wat makes it a sportback? sorry off topic but had to say all of that.

  Nope, it’s the Lamborghini Estoque.

  Volvo S60/S80 has a threeway with Lexus LS460 and BMW X6. But, I do like it though.

  Without the title of the article or the insignia on the grill, I would have guessed Peugeot or Citroen. Many of their most recent concepts have closely resembled this car.

  I’m with JayspeedV10 on this one… I think it looks like the Estoque. Particularly the quarter panels and rear end.
