wayyyy too clean in there!
 
That's how you can tell they are fake artist renditions.
 
Fun find, Andy!

The only give-away that it's not 1:1 to me are the headlights.
 
There are other giveaways, if you look carefully you can see the windows appear to be just too thick and the chrome mouldings are just a bit too heavy as well. Don't get me wrong those are excellent miniatures but there are just enough imperfections to tell when you look at 'em for a while.
 
The photgraphy is excellent, too. As an amateur photographer and one-time modeler I can appreciate the work that went into those.

"The photgraphy is excellent, too. "
 
Yes, that's another thing that threw me, taking picture of the model in front of a real background of trees and power lines.

My friend, artist Ken Botto, used to shoot in natural light, using toys, etc. He did a wonderful book called "Past Joys". If you love old toys put into unusual "sets", this book is for you:

Better proportioned pic at Straightline, but it's a spoiler.

should be arriving in late summer (production starts in early summer).
 
Too bad the side makes it look like a current Hyundai Elantra!

Not bad, but you know, almost every car I see these days has a 90sAudi roofline. I guess Audi never gets credit for creating a very durable styling motif.

I think that resemblance is fine, it's actually executed a little better here.
 
IMHO the XC60 looks better, but I bet this S60 will grow on me.

I just wish that '4-door coupe' fad would go away. I'd hate to sit in the back of that S60, by the looks of the roofline
