Joe, the sticker is probably still there... I just got the catalog
today, and had a good look (btw, is this the car at the VTR this past
summer with the hardtop?--nice car). The cover art has probably been
enhanced with Photoshop, or some such photo retouching tool. If you look
carefully, there is direct sunlight glinting off the right portion of
the bumper and reflections from the right headlight on the paint of the
headlight recess, but the sun in the background is coming from the
opposite direction, judging from the shadows on the shrubbery.

Happens all the time... we do it all the time for manual covers of
customers' buses... sometimes all we have is a shot of one next to the
hazardous waste storage shelves... and we put it on a mountain road, or
in front of one of the local colleges.... (!)

Cheers.
