Three that weren't mentioned in the first picture (all on the left):

Nissan Versa
Subaru Legacy
Lexus RX

For some reason, I can name common cars but not the American cars in the 'junkyard' pictures...

:toofunny: Thanks, I needed that, although it's good I already set my coffee down before I saw it!


My reasoning for posting this image of a Tokyo parking lot is all the feedback from the JDM guys about never showing them any respect, so I gave them a JDM puzzle to solve. Looks like on the whole they didn't fare much better than the restuvus. ;)

I didn't even notice the Mercedes behind the silver car, and I sure couldn't name any of the rest, although I do see what I think is a toaster that Swifty named Diedra.
I wanted to play but have been busy... not that I would have been able to guess many of them anyways ... they're all too new!
Also, I would normally cheat and use my books to help ID them ... and my books aren't handy right now... excuses, excuses.

I do spy a few kei cars, but not sure of make and model.

I do however think the silver "wagon" front & center, going by the name of "Bob" is a Toyota Wish.

Deidra might be a Daihatsu Tanto

Been having some fun on another board naming cars in pictures, and Toyotageek suggested we start a thread for these games.

And with that, the inaugural kick off of the "How many can you name?" thread!

No prizes, just bragging rights. ;)
Credit needs to go to Airborn511 and his Shade Tree ....... thread over in The Showroom.
There were a couple of photos that people were trying to ID cars and I thought that guessing game might deserve a topic of it's own, so here we are.

I'll make a minor contribution to start with.

I will say that I don't have an answer sheet, so I trust in your answers!

For a two day old thread, we have a lot of pictures to play around with, but I'd suggest it might be best if we pace ourselves and only offer up one picture a day, or at least until it's been solved.

I think "Bill" might be a Mitsubishi Toppo?
"Roger" looks like a Toyota Vitz...

Yes, pacing ourselves is probably a good thing, but Air did post this today that I think is worthy here:

Posted Image

No time to play, been a long day. Atlanta and back since yesterday at 4pm, actually did what my wife's friend's husband said was a six hour trip in 4 1/2...don't tell Dean...and that's after finding the airport then driving the outer loop and out 1-85 at the Northeast to their house for a nice lunch.

I'm pooped. That would be a typical day when I drove truck, those days are long behind me.

Pretty sure the white Poncho is 55 or 56, and next to it is a Lincoln, I'm thinking 59 or 60 (just prior to the slab sided Contis)

Now here's something that I recognise.

First pic looks like some repair shop backyard.
There's Volkswagen Golf mk2, Golf mk3 GT or GTI, Bmw E34, another Golf mk3, four Fiat/Seat 600, Honda Civic, Toyota Celica, Peugeot 205 and Fiat/Seat 131.
Only ones i can't say are white car next to Peugeot and black car behind Peugeot, red car on the front and the two white ones next to it, unless those two are also Golf mk2.

Junkyard cars from left top are:
Opel Corsa B, Fiat Bravo, Fiat Punto, Nissan Micra, two more Corsas, Ford Escort, Volkswagen Golf mk2 and Mk3, two Opel Astras, Chrysler Voyager, behind Voyager is another Golf mk2, Suzuki Vitara, Volkswagen Caravelle and blue van I can't name. Nearest top one is Mazda Demio, Renault Kangoo, under Demio is Volkswagen Transporter/Caravelle and behind it is Renault Espace.

Did I do good?

so many here I should know...have a hunch but not certain

I don't see anything newer than 58, and only 2 (possible 3), so I'm thinking this pic is from autumn 1957

Might be wrong, but the blue van looks to be a Nissan Serena.


Now how about a challenge for those of you who love silver transportation appliances? ;)

I see a VW New Beetle...that's the only one I can distinguish. Possible Land Rover, not sure the model but recent (2000ish), I think the little stretch cab pickup is Toyota.

Second pic has a Mini and a WalMart.

Not sure of the silver transportation appliances as they all look same to me but there's some that pop out to me.
Top picture has blue Porsche on the top shelf, red Toyota 4Runner or LandCruiser, black Passat in front of it, yellow and silver New Beetle, Jaguar S-type, red Porsche 914 on the shelf, Bmw next to the yellow New Beetle, silver Volvo xc90 nearest to the camera, silver stw with it's back open is Mercedes of sorts, Land Rover next to it, two cars up is Saab 9-5 or 9-3 STW, more up is BMW x3, four cars up is Volkswagen Golf mk4, silver stw most left in the pic is Volvo V70 maybe and i'm pretty sure there's few Toyota Camrys there somewhere too.

Next pic.
Top shelf I see Porsche 928 and Volvo S70, middle shelf cabrio is Mustang maybe, beige stw is Volkswagen Golf mk4, red car in the front middle is Nissan something, two white vans Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, Mini was recognised already, next to it Volkswagen Jetta/ Bora, then there's BMW, behind Jetta is Mercedes-Benz W124, in the same row's left end is Volvo 850/V70 and behind it is blue Subaru Impreza stw. Also green New Beetle parked at the Walmart.
