Saw this driving in Brussels, any guesses what it is?

I was thinking BMW given the style of the roof shark fin but the mirrors mounted on the door are not really BMW style.



"Dealer plates are special plates available only to motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers. They can only be used on vehicles owned by the manufacturer/dealer and must be renewed every year. A dealer plate has green letters and numbers on a white background ("green plate"). Furthermore it has the European flag on the left side. Standard dealer plates have Z as initial letter and A to Y as second letter. Plates starting with "ZZ" are reserved for test drives."

They look like VW wheels and roofline, so I'd say something VAG based.

New Lexus GS has very similar door mirrors to that so I agree.

I think we have a winner! Found these on the web of the 2012 Lexus GS, although these are on USA plates

Yep, looks like the new Lexus GS.

Worth noting that Europe HQ for Toyota is in Belgium.
