Because it's sometimes nice to have a more light-hearted puzzle, I present to you some bits of cars, none of which are very obscure. 1 point for each car correctly identified, plus a bonus point if you can give me the (silly) connection between them all!
We'll start in the rookies but it wont hang around as long as my 'normal' puzzles

#8 Talbot Samba? The connection is that all the cars seem to be based around dancing ( Morris, Disco, Charleston, etc. )

#4 has already been correctly identified as the Alfa-Romeo Disco Volante, #5 is correct but there is something missing from the name. This is locked for your next reply

Correct! The connection is all cars are named after a dance or a style of music (intentionally or not...). You get the bonus point, well done.

Honda Beat and Opel Corsa Swing are kind of missing

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2011, 08:45:57 PM »

5 Lada Niva. I can't find anything music related for its name. Some places known as 1600 or 2121 or Bronto or Tuning. That's all I got.

Wendax · « **Reply #15 on:** January 18, 2011, 01:49:45 AM »

In some markets, upgraded versions of the Niva were known as the Cossack. The connection to the Cossack dance?

#6 Peugeot Macarena by Heuliez, 2006
