What did I see - possibly new Ford Puma?
Discussion
Coming back from Leeds Bradford Airport in a taxi on Sunday, traffic was diverted due to an accident near the Seacrofy/A64 roundabout. On Redhall Lane (near Wetherby Road) I spotted a disguised prototype stuck in traffic in the other direction which looked very Kia like. Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture, but it was a slightly higher riding 5 door family hatchback, and having seen recent pictures of the new Puma in testing, the shape and general disguise looked like a match.
Did anyone else see this? Never seen any prototypes in and around this part of the world, and struck me as a bit odd since the car is still several months from launch. Anyone seen any other prototypes around here, or have any ideas of why they would have been in Yorkshire. I know we've got some great roads, but still a first for me so close to home.

There are sporadic sittings of disguised car around these parts. West Yorks/North Yorks border.
Most I've seen appear on Swedish plates so I've guessed they were Volvos. But they don't always appear to be volvoish shapes.
There is a particular road I've seen them using quite often, very bumpy and undulating. The authorities "improved" it a bit a year or so ago but its still appears to be a good suspension/ride quality test.
The Sierra Nevada (Spain) can be car, truck, van and bus test central.
Stumbled upon a lot of testing going on up their last year in the summer on a day trip. Junior was well excited, the Mrs far less so for some reason
