Like I said Pontiac G8.

Check the rear door and glass area against the VE Commodore.

Also check the C=Pillar shape & rear door shutline at the wheel arch - same as VE.

The rear is quite small.... Seems smaller than the G8, but I've been wrong before.
Everything else side on seems to be G8.

Hope this works.

The first two pics are the spy photos, the third is a picture from the Commodore release.

It's not a G8. The dogleg in the c-pillar seems a lot sharper than the Commodore one, plus it's a lot smaller

You may be right mate and I might be wrong, but I'm sticking to my first call.

Here's another picture of the G8 at it's release, the dog leg in the C-Pillar is a lot sharper here. I think it's the way the trim is attached.

The angle of the car on the driveway and the camo makes it hard to do a proper comparo.

I can confirm this is no Pontiac G8/VE.

Spy pics of this car have been floating around for a while and the car in question is of a new large Hyundai.

It is the Hyundai Equus according to one of our brethren from the American chapter who has seen it in the flesh.
