Strange car at Seoul Motor Show

[ToniCipriani]

I was looking at Teanas, and came across this pic.

Anyone notice the car above the girl's head? Doesn't it look familiar?

Don't know what manufacturer it belongs to though.

I don't know.. It looks very 80s.

Could it be a Lotus concept? (from the 80s of course)

So, tell me, did this auto show have seoul or not?

The car directly above the girl's head... Oh, that's the Italdesign Aztec, I think.

I want to see more of the gray coupe with the fender scoop behind the reddish-orange insect monstrosity.

I don't know about that silver car in the middle, but the big black car in the foreground screams Ford Five Hundred to me.

That's a Renault Samsung SM7, a.k.a. Nissan Teana.

That's a Renault Samsung SM7, a.k.a. Nissan Teana.

Good catch there! IIRC, the Teana pre-dates the Five Hundred. Still...

[ToniCipriani]

Furthermore about the Teana, there are rumours that it will become the next Maxima. There have been samples caught testing in NA as well, previously.

Lets try the 06 Impala against that.

[Cadillacfan]

I'd rather not. The Impala would lose so bad.

[Ravenfreak13]

Poor Impala...

[ocnblu]

Huh? Baloney. Impala looks better.

[91z4me]

My point is that they both have the exact same green house!

THE SM5 and SM7 are merely based on the Teana, they are not the same car. Both are longer and wider than the Teana. The SM5 is the Renault-Samsung's rival for the Sonata, the SM7 for the Grandeur (Azera).
