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.

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.

#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.

Yes, and yes! 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?

That is correct!

Only #3 to go now. Maybe I need to hand that one over to the Pros?

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!
