The hood and roof are throwing me off, can't place the car
the electric arc reminds me of Back to the Future, and Weird Science
The egg has a moon surface like texture, and i see it reflected in the front and rear windshields, and of course the egg screams Alien(s) to me as well
There is a certain Close Encounters vibe, from the highway and the lights at the horizon

It could be the water, but in the image, it looks like three panels, not two, or else I would say you are reworking the Man from UNCLE piranha, at least that's what the piranhas make me think of. It looks like the back glass is flush with the C-pillars, so, I am in my normal state of cluelessness

To me, the top view has that hour-glass shape of a C-3 'Vette . I was thinking the original NASA astronaut car since it would work with the space theme. The front fenders don't seem as pronounced on the inward side as they should though, and not sure about the hood. Could just be the lighting. The NASA Tesla Model Y just came out and is both spacey and electric but doesn't seem to fit the top view.

I guess I should have looked at this on Chrome so I could see the latest image. Firefox doesn't show Dave's images for me any more

lol you guys are killing me!

no worries.
as before the teaser isn't meant to be a "clue" to the next model as much as it is a fun combination of movie poster and koolwheelz ad.

In this case, like before, I put the actual car into the layout,
but thats the only intentional clue to the identity of the car...
and I tried to keep it as obscure as possible.

But since posting the teaser poster, I realized there are a number of unintentional clues in it.
However they are just as obscure. LOL

Thats where I have misled you...by making you think the clues are more obvious.

All the Poster clues:

Clue 1 - Its a "Movie" poster, so...
Clue 2 - It looks like a regular Public Road, not a racetrack or other surface...
Clue 3 - This one is a stretch...lets play charades...Two words...first word: an Egg...life...its alive. Second word: theres a bright light breaking through.
Clue 4 - In space, no-one can hear you glue...hmmm another word for glue?
Clue 5 - and of course, the actual Car is in the poster! Could it be any more obvious?!

hmmm Mozilla Firefox...lots o' fun there.
I stopped using Firefox because of all the constant updates and sites that wouldn't connect.
Too bad since it was my go-to browser in years past.

And, I just had a problem with Mozilla Thunderbird (email client) again.
This is the third time I've had to reset account settings and passwords inside the software.
For some reason it just stops connecting to the mail server and i find something (like the password) has reset itself.

I've spent the last 12 hours trying to get Tbird to connect and download my mail...finally got it sorted this morning.
Just more annoying Mozilla issues.

As far as browser goes, I think I prefer Brave (and Chrome)...for now.
But even Chrome doesn't always refresh itself...unless you manually clear the history regularly.

Sorry...don't want to start a discussion for internet problems...at least not here!
Back to whats important...back to Koolwheelz!!

This is what I was going for with 'Cagey' - No?

oh LOL yeah I really didn't like that movie.
Partly because Eleanor was the wrong type of Mustang,
and partly because of everything else in it. lol

So, I won't be bothering with a Nicolas Cage Shelby.

But...to confuse you even more...there is a connection!
