That Michigan plate is more specifically known around here (Detroit) as 
an "M" plate.  Only car manufacturers have them.  So the car is 
definitely owned by a car manufacturer, but it could be anybody:  
Nissan, GM, Ford, Toyota, etc.   Nissan does have offices in the 
Detroit area, as well as California.  Around here, if something gets 
photographed as clearly as that car, it's because the manufacturer 
wants it photographed.  It could be an actual pre-production car, but 
it could also be a decoy to throw off people looking for a "scoop."  
Interesting photograph, whatever it is.
