Aston front clip, Malibu body, 458 taillights, Vette rear wheels, f12 style rear fog lamp, funky exhaust pipes - what the hell is this thing??? I much prefer the ute-based mule.

There’s no limit to how badly I want that ute mule. Incredible.

Other than the wacky spoiler placement, that ute is absolutely perfect.

Agreed. Low, sleek, widebody ute? Somebody pinch me.

e: okay, it definitely needs to be wider in the back. I’m okay with that!

I think you mean ESPECIALLY with that wacky spoiler placement.

With the Corvette badge on the trunk and Ferrari taillights, it’s almost like someone wants this thing to be noticed.

I was thinking the same thing, but it seems like it would take quite a chunk of change to put this thing together.

I see GM is going back to having massive panel gaps as a feature.

I remember the black ute, but I must have missed seeing that Frankenstein monster too.

I have never seen so much deception in the camouflage, and I find myself not trusting anything I see on it. I certainly don’t believe that it’s a Ferrari or Aston Martin. It rides too high for a Corvette or Zora, and I figure those Malibu parts are just trying to throw us off too.

I’m gonna guess ATS?

ATS-V+ with LS7???

ATS-V+ with LS7???

That might explain the pipes, unless those are just to throw us off, too... But it’s got to be something cool. They’re not going to go to so much effort to hide a Sonic. I like the ATS-V idea.

If the plate is FXR - 7219 I got this:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

VIN: 1FTYR10U62TA64921

Style / Body: Regular Cab 2D

Engine: 3.0L V6 EFI

So what the hell is it.

Yeah, it’s definitely FXR-7219, but I dunno how it’s a ford ranger.

Probably just threw some plates on it. Interesting we get an Aston-y grille and a Ford vin from the plates. No idea about the rest of it.

The grille/front clip is definitely some sort of Aston; I’d say Rapide.

Actually, that new DB11 or whatever mule that’s been running around from Aston has the Zagato style taillights seen here.. could just be an Aston

The only problem with the mid rear engine Corvette theory is the off-roader level of rear ground clearance.

Something is afoot.

Yeah, it’s coming out in 2017 with the new toyota supra and new ford bronco!

A new Ford Ranger mule with the body of a Malibu, tail of a Ferrari, mouth of an Aston, and the badges of a Corvette?
