Most likely it's a four door, because of the window lines/trim of the rear windows...

Good eye whoster, I'm going to agree with your hypothesis. The high trunk line is also similar to the Altima ahead of it, but the exhausts are obviously more upscale. It should be about time to prep for a Maxima remodel too, considering the current gen came about in 2003.

Looks like a decently good-lookin car. I would say Mazda 6; the Altima is out there as a competitor. It has a coupe shape, as the next 6 is supposed to have, and it looks to have the same door handles as the new Mazda 2. It also has the same wheels as the Mazda 3.

Could be the new Accord or TL too. Those are Acura-esque exhaust pipes.

From the back.... I'd say LS460 hatchback cause of the exhaust tips.
