Talking about spy shots where they don't want you too see jack$hit. Or just someone in Michigan testing out their new bodykit design for some hatchback car.

A crude disguise made of cardboard, yellow mesh cloth, and duct tape makes this prototype look like a high-school project to build a car from discarded materials. But it's not-it's actually a prototype of a newToyota hatchback coupe photographed recently in the U.S.

The car has a steeply sloping windshield, and uses small side windows at the base of the windshield similar to the Toyota Prius. At the front, projector beam headlights are set in a stylish silver housing, which indicates that this is likely an upper-end model. A criss-cross of tape on the taillights partially obscures the taillights, which have chrome rings around the individual lights. And one can clearly see that it is a two-door hatchback, not a four-door.

Identifying the car is a bit of a guess, but it is thought to be a Corolla hatchback, or possibly a new Scion.

They finally revealed their manufacturing secrets.

Is it a Versa? Who did they copy for this one?

What's with the little window by the mirror making a come back? The Versa has that and now this "whatever" has it to.

So does the prius...with it's high-tech drum brakes. You know, the Matrix has rear drum brakes as well. Didn't disc brakes come out in the 60s?

Can't totally bash on Toyota for using drum brakes. Nissan is still using rear drums on Sentras and even the new Versa.
