      I don't know what's up with the hitch either, but this video and the pictures that were posted from Florida both have two different black 5th gens with hitches on them. I don't know if it's a road trip setup where they put a cargo carrier on it, a testing thing to add weight and maybe pull stuff around to test it's limitations, or if the car simply hasn't got tow hooks or any other method of pulling it out if it crashes or gets stuck so they bolt up a raggedy hitch for a tow point.

        I remember something about the trailer hitch being used to tow test equipment.

        Don't remember where I read it...

          I've seen pictures of mules before towing test equipment. Also the rear lights must be euro spec.

            The "pipe" mountes that mechanism that measures wheel speed and etc. You know, the pipe with the little wheel...I don't know what it is called but have seen it before in different rags.

                The trailer hitch is because they put a bunch of weight on a trailer and drive up steep hills, sometimes until failure. It is extreme testing conditions to accelerate the testing.

                    At least it's a true dual exhaust. Sounds like a typical LS engine to me.
