Pop quiz time: what the hell are you looking at?
An X-ray of a badly broken leg? A sketch of a magnificent heron in flight? Some sort of conceptual iron?
No, no and no. It's the new Infiniti M, Nissan's luxury rival to the BMW 5-Series and Merc E-Class, set to be unveiled at the posh Pebble Beach Concours in a couple of weeks time.
We do occasionally scoff at daft teaser sketches, but there's a lot you can tell from this one. Like, er, the fact that it has some sort of roofline. And a front. And a back.
And that's about it. Infiniti is keeping schtum on any details about the new M, but we'd expect it to share swoopy styling with the rest of the Infiniti range, and feature the 3.7-litre V6 from the Nissan 370Z, perhaps in a more conservative state of tune.
We'll find out for sure at Pebble Beach, but until then, let's play the snappily named ‘Of What Improbably Non-Car Object Does The Infiniti Teaser Remind You?' game. Suggestions please...

It's getting silly now. I'm gonna scribble on a bit of black paper and say "there you go, a new Lambo".

Could be some sort of expensive speedboat. There are no body lines of the hull because it's naturally submerged in water? I've decided it must be that. If Aston Martin is making the Cygnet and giving it a yacht and ship analogy, Infiniti have taken that concept and gone for more 'ship' than 'yacht'. I propose we go to the official launch, audibly expecting an infiniti speedboat. When infiniti get bemused and say "No, we make cars not boats!" we can retort with "well next time draw scribbles and call it a teaser picture you idiots!"
