Guess the car!

Answer the following:
What car is this?
Who makes it?
What is the engine in here?
What american vehicle does it share components with?

psycho- · 05-23-2002, 09:37 PM

Here's a picture of the front of the car

Here's a shot of the interior

NuTs62 · 05-23-2002, 10:59 PM

I'd say the maker is Infiniti. The clock kinda gives it away

I'm guessing its equivalent to the Q45. Though parts of it reminds me of a Lexus LS430.

Nice try buddy. Toyota decided to steal the idea of the analog clock.

PBBBT, too easy man.

1. Progrés (introduced in Japan in 1998 and came out before the altezza I belive).
2. Toyota
3. The NC250 has a 2.5 liter straight six and the NC300 gots a 3.0 liter straight six.
4. IS300, its more like the daddy of the IS300 in some respect I guess since it was released before the IS. The NC300 does use the same engine I believe as the IS300.

Eh . . . no. . . the altezza is the japanese version of the IS, this car is bigger and more of a luxury car than driver's car.

you would think that after all these years they would at least get that right

psycho- · 05-24-2002, 04:40 AM

Not bad guys!

There is another model that is based off of the altezza platform. Can you guys name it?

Can you name the month/year this other model debuted?

why would toyota steal the analog clock from infiniti? i always thought that the analog clock looked really cheap. its a nice idea but the clock needs to be improved to look more impressive..it looks like something u pick up at the dollar store

Nanotech9 · 05-24-2002, 11:27 AM

BMW had it to start with - in the old e30 3 series cars back in the early 80's, the EURO models had this clock in them:

psycho- · 05-24-2002, 12:31 PM

For some reason, I figured this trivia would be harder if I said you guys couldn't use google to search up the name

rasetsu · 05-24-2002, 03:32 PM

What a hideous exterior design! Is it supposed to be a JDM Toyota spinoff like Scion or Lexus here?

Actuall it even goes back further to the 2002 models, probably even back more. But I'm 100% positive the 2002 tii's have an analog 'cause my friend has one.
