My guess is the new upcoming Chevy version of the GM Outlook/Enclave/Acadia car-based SUV.....the Traverse.

I knew you'd be the first one to respond Mike, I can always count on you in car chat.

Mike, the Traverse has been out for a few weeks already. I see them every day on my drive to work with normal plates on them.
Also, I think it's a much smaller car than the Traverse. Look at it compared to the Z4 in front of it. I'm guessing maybe the Dodge Hornet.

Yes, I know, but it has the general shape, taillights, and exhaust of the Traverse.

Part of that perspective might just be the camera lens and any possible distortion.
Here's the Dodge Hornet, BTW.....you can see at a glance it is a far different vehicle from what Liz posted.

My impression is some sort of Chrysler product just looking at the rear shape IMO it has some looks of the PT Cruiser

I too say Chrysler. The general shape seems like something they'd build, and so does that black plastic strip along the bottom.
