Kia Cadenza.
Should be easy to find the driver because they’ve sold like 3 Cadenzas in Canada.

In general I’m getting a very Kia Forte Sedan vibe. However, the wheels line up just a little better with a Ford Fusion Titanium. Headlights and taillights check out as well:

More or less, but it’s called a Fusion.

Ford Fusion?

A few on the original Twitter mentioned Kia as well, though I’m also thinking Fusion.

Agreed w/ Cadenza at first, but alloy design is off. Not seeing similar alloy in my scan of Cadenza photos.
Ford Fusion is an option. Rear Bumper in bigger photo, 5 spoke (and 5-ish) designs that could match, circular glow of tail lights.
Also, is the third brake light more toward the trunk line than roof line? Hard to tell. This can help narrow options (both Cadenza and Fusion seem to be mounted up high).

Just adding this to spur some thoughts. At first those alloys screamed Jetta GLI. The lower third brake light fits that idea, but im struggling with headlights/taillights.

Could be aftermarket or from another Kia.

Perfectly possible... it’s winter tire season right now.

It’s winter tire season right now, so aftermarket rims are common.

The alloys and taillights scream Ford Fusion, but that third brake light is screwing me up.

The first and second picture look like a Kia of some sort because of the stance and proportions. The way the rear end seems to be sloped forward (bottom of bumper further out than top of trunk). Second pic especially seems not as long and low as a Fusion, but rather more short and stubby, like a Forte Sedan. I think what really completes the Kia effect, though, is those wheels. They look exactly like this set of Kia wheels:
However, I don’t think those were put on the Forte, and you never know how surveillance cameras alter proportions. Either one seems like a good guess. They oughtta just find one of each and drive them around on camera and see which one it really is.

Wheels and tailights look like a Fusion.

I think you’ve got it. Same rims, taillight pattern (as the 2015ish ones anyways), and the low mount third brake light.

I think they’re from something elsebut on a cadenza. The twilight are exact and it has mirror turn signals too.

The taillamps are what set me off. They’re quite a distinctive shape.

It’s 100% an optima. The Cadenza has the right taillight shape, but a center brake light mounted at the top of the rear window.

It’s absolutely a Kia Optima. The Cadenza has a really close taillight, but the center brake light is situated at the top of the rear window, not at the bottom like the hit-and-run car. Even though the Fusion has a similar taillight, it’s ruled out because of its high mounted center brake light as well.
As you can see below, the Optima has the right taillight shape and angle, as well as the low mounted center brake light.

I thought so too. They are verrry round. Much more round the Fusion imo.

I’ll elaborate on my guess. The rims are exactly the same, look at the bottom of the front bumper, the head and tail lights and the placing of the license plate. I’m willing to bet my life on this one, there’s literally NO OTHER MATCH. Good guessing though, to everyone else.
