QuoteI'm 98% certain it's Japanese.  No american sedan had a center e-brake.  It's not: cressida, camry, avalon, es250, es300, gs, ls, maxima, altima, stanza, nor any infiniti.  Nor mazda 929, millenia.  Nor is it a honda or acura product.

Key clue is the rear seat buckles.  Toyota had a button on the side until the mid 90's, as did most japanese makes.

I'm thinking it's some foreign market sedan that was imported and rebadged - like the cadillac catera or the like.

Any other ideas on what it is, or isn't?
what makes you so certain its not an LS?  I personally think its very possible its an LS.

The LS has adjustable rear seat head rests - the one in the photo doesn't.

Is it possible it's not a sedan?  Is sure looks like one....  Those things that look like speakers might be mounted on rear shock towers of an SUV?

Has anyone considered that it might be an Oldsmobile? I'm just tossing out ideas.

Somebody edited it. One of the other mods, perhaps. It absolutely, positively said "Whoever said it was a current model was correct".

You're onto something here. So are a few other people, but the correct answer still hasn't been guessed. And the vehicle here isn't in production anymore, but a related vehicle is in another form, and that other vehicle is still sold in the US.

Well, if I did say that, I didn't change it, and I'm terribly sorry if I posted something that wrong.  :(

I just dropped four hints a few posts ago. What are you expecting, the letters of the vehicle name rearranged for you?  :P

The Colt was, and the Stratus/Sebring coupe and the Dodge Avenger were loosely based on the Eclipse.

It's not them though.

The vehicle pictured is a 1996, but the model was in production for more than one year (obviously).
