I'm going with real.

I'm not up on current or European cars so that could come back to haunt me, but for some reason it's saying real to me.

OK Harry,

I say real. But, the pic appears to have been modified. The grille/hood line isn't right. The tires/wheels look questionable. The variance in the black areas. The under car shadow is simulated. The roof rails/luggage rack has been imported or ? Maybe it's just me.

I'm going real on this one - The give away to me is the little shaft holding the passengers head rest up. I have yet to see a head rest that is off the seat back and exposing the shafts that hold it up. A little point but one that most modelers wouldn't consider. Ya, I know - its a small part to hang your hat on - But thats my story and I'm sticking to it. :unsure:

I'd say neither. It's an artists rendering of a real car or you've been hard at work in photoshop trying to fool us.

Looks like typical liberally retouched photography used by 1:1 car manufacturers for sales material.

They employ the same kind of tricks at Playboy too ;) Real or model? Yes. :unsure:

Hey Harry,

I voted real on the one.Looks like a sales photo.

Voted real for the same reason Pete said.

Now that I have said that, I know Harry ans it is a model.

My vote stays real though.

I thought that at first, but, why would he? It is "Real or Model".

Okay I have been voting on thes and not saying anything . Been doing pretty god and think I have gotten about 80% right. But this one has gotten me I think its a drawing but is the artwork for a model. Probably miss this since I have gotten the last 5 right

Ok George....I went "real"............... ;)

Though, it does appear to be a re-touched pic of some kind...? Dealer brochure pic ? Quite possible.....which to me, makes it look a little toy-like.....??

Can't recall a model of one either, but that don't mean much......

I am gonna say real, but as others have mentioned, I think it is a sales literature pic, perhaps one that has been airbrushed because they didnt have that year's car ready for photography yet.

sorry for my delayed answer, but.................

i say MODEL! nice job with the photoshop!

what is that a 2006 audi rs8 advant, with the new jag xk headlights, a audi a3 grill, and audi sport rims, with fake 1950's tyres? lol!

I voted real. It is a touched-up photo of a real car. The tires look very good, then again Fujimi makes some highly-realistic tires too. But the windows and behind the windows look's real to me. It look's like other promotional or brochure photo's. I've seen very similar photo's done for the Honda Insight. I say it's real, but from a brochure.

I see that I am not the only one that is going against the majority, but I think that there is something about the grille that just looks model (like not being able to see through it).
