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.

Voitures sans visage / cars without a face

Like Billy Idol?

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!?"

Correct (apart from the Mini being a One and not a Cooper, but how could you know?) - you have been awarded two points!

Correct! No points for noticing that, though

19 is a VW Polo (6th generation,I think) – I should know, I drive one

pieter · « **Reply #7 on:** October 15, 2008, 06:02:58 AM »

I would guess 5 to be a Ford Fiesta

I 13 a Citroen C1?

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?

No... not exactly.

#5 - Mazda 3 or Kia?

pieter · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2008, 08:13:44 AM »

Okay, my mistake, make that a Citroen C2 for 13

DHoffmann · « **Reply #14 on:** October 15, 2008, 08:16:33 AM »

#14 - 2009 Mercedes A-Class.

Whatever no 12 is, it also features in question 50 of All

@re · « **Reply #21 on:** October 16, 2008, 06:43:05 PM »

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.

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!
