Some people complain that most new car designs are featureless.
That may be so, but if you take away some of the key design features, how hard will they then be to identify?
Let's try! Here I've collected 20 cars - and removed their grilles and headlights. Do you recognise them?
Still shouldn't be too hard. To make it a wee bit more difficult I'm posting the pics in black and white.
-
And 10 more:
-
Voitures sans visage / cars without a face
Like Billy Idol? ;D
-
The Rookies don't seem all that interested in this one... but I expect the Experts to kill it off instantly. Please prove me right ;)
-
#18 Fiat Panda
#4 Mini Cooper
And the rest will most likely be "Argh how did I miss that!?"
-
#18 Fiat Panda
#4 Mini Cooper
Correct (apart from the Mini being a One and not a Cooper, but how could you know?) - you have been awarded two points!
And the rest will most likely be "Argh how did I miss that!?"
Correct! No points for noticing that, though ;)
-
19 is a VW Polo (6th generation,I think) – I should know, I drive one
-
I would guess 5 to be a Ford Fiesta
-
I 13 a Citroen C1?
-

Correct! You have been awarded a point.
-

That would not be a wise guess - but I was waiting for somebody to make that mistake ;) sure looks like a Ford, doesn't it?
-
I 13 a Citroen C1?
No... not exactly.
-
#5 - Mazda 3 or Kia?
-
Okay, my mistake, make that a Citroen C2 for 13
-
#14 - 2009 Mercedes A-Class.
-
#5 - Mazda 3 or Kia?
Nope.
-
Okay, my mistake, make that a Citroen C2 for 13
Correct! You have been awarded a point.
-
#14 - 2009 Mercedes A-Class.
Correct! You have been awarded a point.
-
Peugeot 207 for #2?
-
Peugeot 207 for #2?
Nope.
-
Whatever no 12 is, it also features in question 50 of All
-
It doesn't. But if you find that one, I'd say it'd be a lot easier to find this one ;)
It's a funny coincidence that they should both be here at the same time.

I will say nothing...

You posted the other one after I had prepared this puzzle, and as it took some time to manipulate the photos I didn't bother changing it. Know that I'm just waiting for you to promote that other one, though - I know what it is... ;) but I'm not telling, either!

# 10 : Hyundai Getz
-
# 15 : Mitsubishi Colt
-
# 11 : Nissan Micra
-
# 10 : Hyundai Getz

# 15 : Mitsubishi Colt
A big, triple yes! Three points awarded.
-
12 is the Heuliez Will, as seen at the recent Paris Show (and in 50 of All!)
-
No, it isn't. The answer is a lot easier.
-
:lmao: I knew you were bluffing!! Opel Agila, then...
-
Bluffing?
Yes, it is an Agila. Points awarded.
-
Okay, bluffing.... annuled.
I couldn't believe that you'd chosen an obscure car like the Heuliez Will.
You decided to provide a front view, but the Heuliez is only to be identified from the side!
But... did you really believe I would post the trivial Opel Agila to the Expert section? :D
-
I don't understand what you mean ???
I've never insinuated that I'd chosen the Heuliez Will. I said that if one managed to identify your puzzle (the Heuliez) I'd have thought it would be much easier to find this one (the Agila) as it should be a piece of cake to find out what car Heuliez used to make their Will.
And of course I didn't think you'd post the Agila in the Expert section. Like I said, I knew it was the Heuliez. But it never made it across to the Pro section.
-
Than it was a misunderstanding! Not unusual for me.. :-[
-
I'd say you normally manage just fine ;)
-
Here we go:
#2 - Mazda 2
#3 - Honda Jazz
#5 - Toyota Corolla
#8 - Kia Cee'd
#9 - Renault Clio RS
#16 - Lancia Delta
#17 - Honda Jazz (restyling)
#20 - Skoda Fabia
-
Here we go:
#2 - Mazda 2 - yes!
#3 - Honda Jazz - nope.
#5 - Toyota Corolla - nope.
#8 - Kia Cee'd - yes!
#9 - Renault Clio RS - yes!
#16 - Lancia Delta - yes!
#17 - Honda Jazz (restyling) - yes!
#20 - Skoda Fabia - yes!
Impressive! That's six quick points for the rookie. You're putting the Experts to shame!
-
#5 - Toyota Corolla - nope.
You're right! I've always confused the (extremely similar) design of the previous Corolla with the current... Toyota Auris!
-
It is indeed an Auris. Another well-earned point for the rookie.
-
What's the current solved list?
-
#1, 3, 6, and 7 are still left standing.
-
#1 is a Kia Picanto ;D
#6 is a Daihatsu Cuore
-
#1 is a Kia Picanto ;D
#6 is a Daihatsu Cuore
Yes, and yes! You're not far from sweeping up the rest, I think.
-
You're not far from sweeping up the rest, I think.
Hmmm. maybe so. But not without a small hint: are both those cars being produced as are right now?
-
Yes.
-
#7 - Tata Indica
-
That is correct!
Only #3 to go now. Maybe I need to hand that one over to the Pros?
-
#3 - Subaru Justy
Finished :D
-
Correct!
The total tally is this: Joao Gois 9, DHoffmann 3, ecurie 3, pieter 2, ImpishGrin 2, and Allemano 1. The interesting thing is that I initially complained about the rookies not being interested in this puzzle - but when I moved it to the Expert section, the rookies solved it ;)
Points have been awarded as the puzzles have been solved, so this completes the Eraser puzzle. Nice work!
