It's possible that it was on its way to Lapland for testing, but it doesn't seem very likely. I think they could easily have found colder weather in Canada, and "secret" test cars are probably not painted in a easily notifiable colour like that.

I suspect that somebody who recently moved from the US or maybe China brought it with them, or maybe someone just found a Regal front (on eBay?) and bolted it onto their Insignia.

Saw a new 9-5 for the first time the other day. I quite liked the rear end design.

I also saw a Nissan Juke for the first time. Luckily I wasn't wearing glasses so the true horror of the front was denied me. Even without glasses the rear end shape was awfully misshapen for me.

Maybe a bit stupid question, but is there any car, named "Lucide" or so? It's a Japanese Minivan, something similar to the Nissan Serena. I cannot find anything in the database.

I saw such a car last Saturday, it had a British plate and was, due the plate-size for sure a Japanese import. Unfortunately I couldn't take my camera fast enough and I couldn't drive faster, because I had a trailer at my Omega.
I'm even not sure bout the brand, due the logo Toyota or Mazda, I think.

Toyota Estima Lucida

I do not know how one is distinct from a regular Estima though.

The Lucida was shorter and narrower, to fit into a lower tax band in Japan.

It sounds crazy to make a separate model for a small size difference... why not directly make it the right size?

Today I saw a RHD Saturn SW2 delivering mail. I nearly drove off the road trying to get a good look as I passed it by

I saw a 1967 330 P4 today. The owner told me the year and model.

An old MG, not sure about the model through. It is belongs to the manager of a hotel.

The view from our hostel. Only the white R5 and the Fiat 126p are running, all other cars are parked!!!

Wikipedia says the second generation Saturn S-Series cars were sold in Japan, which explains why RHD versions were made.

I saw a UK registered Nissan Sentra with probably US Spec yesterday.

And I saw an Audi A3 Sportback in US-version, today, with German plates.
