LA JOLLA, Calif. -- On palm-fringed Prospect Avenue in La Jolla -- the ritzy seaside enclave of suburban San Diego where super-rich residents steer mega-bucks car candy with labels like Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini -- we observe that more than a few of the sidewalk shoppers pay unusual attention to our vehicle with their heads turning and fingers pointing as we roll by.
What these spectators see is a new kind of car that looks like nothing else on the road. It's large -- as long as the biggest sedan and equally wide, with a prominent hood and broad grille consuming the face between corner clusters of projector-style headlamps. It has lots of doors.
There's a pair of portals on each flank below what looks like one extremely long and narrow window stretching from the windshield clear back to the tail.
Also, a top-hinged liftgate at the rear swings high for access into the cargo bay.
The profile vaguely resembles one of those big American mid-century station wagons, although the stance of this contemporary car seems like it's hiked much higher than the vintage wagon and the beltline atop side doors rises much taller.
