Identify a car please

I saw a black 4 door today that appeared to be a Lincoln MKZ but I noticed that it wasn't. We were heading in the same direction so I tried to get a better look but couldn't. It had manufacturer's plates and the protective film on the body and wheels.

I cannot use my phone whilst driving so I couldn't get any pics.

The badge on the trunk was shaped like a crest with a name that started with what I think was the letter "I".

On the the left side of the trunk it had what I think was the name "Tomas". It was in cursive so that may not even be close.
I did a search but came up with nothing on the Web.

Any of you guys want to take a shot?

It sounds like Bonnie and Clyde. I would care not to follow them too closely

Those of us with families do. I would go with the new Caddy XTS, though.

I'm not interested in BUYING one I just want to know what it was. The carmakers use that highway on test loops so seeing odd cars is nothing out of the ordinary.

Must have been an Inni as opposed to an Audi.

Funny.


I did some more searching online today but still haven't found it.

It almost seems like it started out as a Lincoln but then a "tuner" got it. Kind of like RUF does with Porsche. Not that it was ANYTHING like RUF, just trying to make the comparison.

It would really help if you had a picture. Even a blurry cell phone picture. Identifying a car from a short description is not very likely to happen. I think you are on your own.

Yeah, I know pics would help but as a commerical truck driver we can't even reach for a cell phone let alone take a pic. Trust me, I was tempted.

1968cayman-It definately wasn't a Lincoln.

Thanks anyway for the help, guys.

I'd like to but they sound like the sorta guys that might shoot back.

You'll have to excuse me. I might be a bit odd for a few days at the service pistol shoot today I got hit by a ricochet that cut my forehead.
