The rear light does not seem to match that of a Lexus in the UK which have transparent lens covers - not red ones. They are also a different shape.

Chris Jones, drummer with The Dolmen.

Been trying to see if the car is mentioned on their FB page but so far nothing.

Looks like a Focus to me too.

The wheels are not quite right for a focus. Also the rear light and body panel above it is not the right shape and the fuel filler flap is not visible on the crashed car.

I am now quite sure that car is a 2012 Nissan Qashqai. One overtook me in stop start traffic today and the wheels with raised edges on the 5 broad spokes , rear light with a transparent inset, deep roof spoiler, shape of the body join with the bumper panel, shape of the side panel by the rear window etc were all just right.

The mystery has been niggling me - but I am now gonna leave it alone. Unfortunately the Nissan web site now shows the newly face lifted model with some fancy wheels.  But the rear bodywork has not changed much.

Rear light looks like Focus, but Citroen DS series also has that kind of design.  :undecided:

Potnodleman - well done.  (We have had those hatchback Lancers here so us Aussies should have been able to get that right.)

Congratulations - I am quite sure you are right. Its been bugging me since Christmas - a bit like when you get some music stuck in your mind and your brain keeps playing it.

Thanks for putting me out of my misery................. :goodjob:
