IBrake4Rainbow's Tail Light Challenge

[IBrake4Rainbows]

FINALLY!!!!!

I guess i'll just have to make it harder now.....

[Spastik_Roach]

I've seen it before, damnit!! I know itt! ErrgHGA!

[Mustang]

nissan bluebird

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Oh this will be fun......

HINT 1: this particular car is a spectacular Race car from a Mundane Manufacturer, and not entirely successful......

[Spastik_Roach]

Ford Sierra Cosworth?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

oh boy.....

HINT 2: the manufacturer is right.....

[Delmaster]

'85 Ford RS200?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well done to Delmaster.I've decided to make the clues a bit more cryptic for the next couple of rounds, just to freak you out again...........

[Delmaster]

Is it an asian car only for US?

some kind of Honda?

[junaman]

2004 Nissan Maxima?

[johnnynumfiv]

hyundai xg 350, 300 or sonata

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well done guessing it's an Asian car for the U.S, Delmaster.

But your all pretty far off so far.

HINT 1: This car is based on a Best Seller, but a boring one.....

[Mustang]

Honda civic

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Nissan Sentra (B15)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

No, not yet.

HINT 2: This car is from the most profitable car company in the world, with something of an image problem.....

[Mustang]

toyota corrola

[:Exige:]

It looks a bit like a Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 Saloon but I highly doubt it with the sales figures they've just brought out :D

[IBrake4Rainbows]

oh boy........

Hint: American ONLY Japanese Car, considered an Heir to a huge company throne....

Made for under 30's....

[junaman]

Nissan Murano???

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Bluuuurgh.

This car is based on the Corolla. Made in a hugely customisable way.

[junaman]

Toyota Matrix?

[Rockefella]

hyundai accent or elantra?

other guess: kia rio?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nowhere near.

HINT 4: It's a coupe.

This is worth like half a point now.....

[lithuanianmafia]

Scion tC Sport Coupe?

[:Exige:]

Toyota Prius 1.5 VVTi?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

FINALLY.

Well done Lith.

Next one coming shortly. Until then, heres some music.

Doo DE doo......

Here we go. Enjoy.

[Delmaster]

I've seen these taillights before..... but where...?

'63 Chevrolet Impala?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well Done Delmaster. YOur living up to your name, the master part anyway.

Just waiting on another taillight to spring up, won't be long.

God i love quick reply....

OK! Here we go! this one's gonna be a toughy.......

[Delmaster]

God I love this game.... :)


But this GONNA be a toughy


is it an end-80s/early 90s concept car?

maybe Italian? Bertone?

[Spastik_Roach]

Some sort of Customised Nissan 180sx?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

it's not a Nissan 180sx.

This is a car from the late 80's, another failed supercar manufacturer probably, i know little about the company.

Italian i think.

[stratos]

bertone jet ? :confused:

[SlickHolden]

Bugatti ???

[Delmaster]

Could you give us another hint?
It's a really tricky one.....

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

guiargio?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

That is literally all i know.

This car is from 1992, and Features a 5.5 V8.

As far as i know it never reached production.

And 0-60 is quoted as 4 seconds.

[VtecMini]

It's not the Jiotta Caspita is it? It just about fits all the clues, but I think it was Japanese, rather than Italian.

[lithuanianmafia]

can we please have a hint (like the first letter of the manufacter or something?)

[lithuanianmafia]

ok, a few guesses:

Bizzarrini BZ-2001
Monteverdi Hai 650F1
Vector WX3
Yamaha OX99-11

[IBrake4Rainbows]

All really wrong.

the manufacturer begins with an S.

[lithuanianmafia]

now i got it! it's none other than the Spiess TC 522!

The Latest One.........

Heres your next challenge.......

[Spastik_Roach]

Wow i've done fair well :P

I don't have a clue on this latest one. Some Volkswagen?

[Delmaster]

It's a concept right?
But I don't have a clue.
Maybe Yes! Raodster? Something like this......

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Not right yet guys.

This manufacturer has links to a bargain basement manufacturer from the far east and a famous english manufacturer. It's a sports car, if that helps.

[:Exige:]

Um ... First thing that came to mind was DC cars. They designed the AMV8 Concept which relates them to Aston Martin and I think theyre in the Far East ... or India ... Im confusing myself so Ill just write down all the DC's I know..

DC Go
DC Infidel
DC Gaia
DC Zelo
DC Circa 2020

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Chevrolet Callaway?

[UK CARS]

aston martin vantage

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Tommy Karia (SP?) ZZ-II?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Your getting close, it is Indian.

And if it helps, the Manufacturer they are helped out with is Proton, which own Lotus...

[Delmaster]

is it a Tata?
Tata Coupé?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Not yet.....

The manufacturer is one that is really unknown, but they seem to only make sportscars.

[Egg Nog]

Heh, I totally forgot about this game :)

Proto PS-II?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well Done Eggy, although the full name would have been ProtoMOTORS PS-II.

[Ko51n]

Looks almost like the:
Kia Sorento (SUV)

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Chevrolet Aveo?

[Ko51n]

OH crap! it is the aveo hatchback

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Hmmm, not quite guys.

[Ko51n]

All i know is it looks like something cheap

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Your on the right track. Think who makes the Aveo.

[Ko51n]

Saturn Vue?

[Ko51n]

It is the aveo 5 door unless its some vauxhall or holden i dont know about

[IBrake4Rainbows]

The Aveo is based on another, lesser known (BY americans, at least) made in Korea.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Chevrolet Malibu Maxx?
Or do you mean Daewoo Kalos?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Yes, i mean the Daewoo Kalos, good lateral thinking there.....

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Car in production or a prototype?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

In Full production.

European, if that helps.

[Spastik_Roach]

Where have I seen that before... Its a MPV right?

[henk4]

citroen C5 sedan?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Spastik is right in saying it's a Mini MPV.

It's from a really struggling manufacturer, if that helps.

[henk4]

so it can't be citroen then

[IBrake4Rainbows]

No, it's not French, sorry.

I'm working on a french guess.

[henk4]

Opel Meriva

(Citroen is not struggling :) )

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nup.

Another hint: A Badge engineered Travesty.

[henk4]

Bmw X3

[IBrake4Rainbows]

no, henk, they actually designed it the way it is. Hard to believe......

oh, and it's not german, and since when was BMW struggling?

[henk4]

since when was BMW struggling?

with esthetics, since Bangle came along :)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Maybe, but style will not kill BMW's profits, they won't let him. even i agree that the 7-series is doing really well in Asia and has become a default Blinger, slightly below that of the RR Phantom.

Oh, and you need to guess again.

[henk4]

is it Lancia's version of the Fiat Idea?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

What's its name?

I'm not giving it too you that easy.

[henk4]

I am struggling

[henk4]

yahoo!!, Musa

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well Done Henk, i believe thats your first win on this game. You win..... the same as everyone else. Another puzzle.

Have a go at this.

[henk4]

daewoo leganza

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nup.

This may be beyond many people.

MWHAHAHAHAHAHa......

[henk4]

nubira

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Not a Daewoo

but it is asian....

[henk4]

Kia Opirus

[UK CARS]

kia spectra :D

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Not south Korean.

A Concept, however.

[henk4]

then pass!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Have a go, i'll give you a bigger hint.

This particular Japanese Concept is named after a scientific method of combination.

Hows that for cryptic?!

[UK CARS]

Prius!!!!

[henk4]

Mitsubishi Putogether

[IBrake4Rainbows]

funny.

Think in a Nuclear Context.

[henk4]

A Fusion, but that's a Ford.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

not necesarily.......

now add a Japanese company name....

[henk4]

Yahoo !!! Mazda, can you show the whole car?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

nup.

not yet, your name is still wrong.

[henk4]

yeah,yeah,yeah, it's Nissan, I was too rash.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Ok, as promised. This was just a concept of the forthcoming Primera shown at the 2000 frankfurt motor show, i believe.

heres your next challenge, also.

[henk4]

my yahoo version said it was for the French motor show in 2000.

next: Ford Mustang

(be quick, Monza will start in 10 minutes and I can only follow it via Internet in this bloody place)

[escort mexico]

Peugeot of some sort maybe 406?

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

I'm making a really wild guess, but I'm thinking it is a Dodge prototype of some sort. Just not sure which one.

[lithuanianmafia]

Mercedes-Benz of some sort

[Blue Supra]

Lateset model Pulsar

[Spastik_Roach]

Mitsubishi Airtrek/Outlander concept or production?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well done to Lith Mafia for coming closest!

HINT: it's not actually relased yet....

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Errrrr that Mercedes SUV concept??? Can't remember the name, could be wrong anyway!

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

HEY! I was just as close with Dodge! :P It's that van like car based on the Chrysler Pacifica. I just don't remember what it's called..

[lithuanianmafia]

Mercedes-Benz Vision GST?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nup.

Even newer....

[Delmaster]

not Vision Grand Sports Tourer?

so, F500 Mind?
R-Class?

it's newer than the GST?
newer than the GST from 2002 or that one from 2004, there are two....

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Smaller than that.
And even Newer than the Newest one........

[Delmaster]

the MB Viano/Vito crossover concept? show in Frankfurt in September?
MB CST?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Errrr the next Mercedes E/C/S/CLK/SLK/SL/M/A class

[Coventrysucks]

Errrr the next Mercedes E/C/S/CLK/SLK/SL/M/A class

How did you manage to miss it?

Mercedes B-Klasse

[charged]

Smaller than that.
And even Newer than the Newest one........ Are you the Michael Stahl who writes for Wheels if you are ,I think you must have the best job in the world tooling around in new cars all the time.when all I do every day is play around with telephones very boring :)

[Coventrysucks]

I do apologise, I was mistaken.

It is actually termed "Mercedes Vision B" -the concept version of the B-Klasse.

I hope they carry those lights into production.

[Delmaster]

are there any photos of the "Vision B"?
only seen chops in carmagazines....

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Errrr the next Mercedes E/C/S/CLK/SLK/SL/M/A class

Was I close, IB4R?

[Coventrysucks]

Car Design news (.com) has some photos of the Vision-B and Vision-R in their Paris Motor show preview.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Sorry for the delay their guys.

Yes, the Vision B Is correct, Well Done CovSucks.

and i'd appreciate a little less of the Whitewash thanks IWantAnAudiRS6. it's likely to get you ignored on this thread. and nullify your next posts.

Oh, and i am Not Michael Stahl, to have one of the guys quotes in his Sig would seem a little bit egotistical.

And i'm a 16 year old student....

Right, here we go for the next one.....

[Blue Supra]

Toyota Tarago

[Spastik_Roach]

Hyundai Terracan?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Hyundai Matrix
P.S. Sorry about the multiple choice stunt!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well Done Spastik, i believe the Nail has been hit!

[Delmaster]

[escort mexico]

[stratos]

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Daewoo Leganza? Magnus?

[stratos]

dammm me http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/html/emoticons/frech32.gif http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/html/emoticons/frech32.gif http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/html/emoticons/frech32.gif

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I'll Give you another hint: It's got a feature shared with the Chrysler Voyager, but it's the size of a Scenic.

[Delmaster]

these lights look a bit like Toyota....

[Spastik_Roach]

Some strangely designed JDM only van probably, i'd have to do some japanese website hunting to find out :S

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Nissan Quest?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Yes, Delmaster, it is a toyota.

It should be easy now.

[stratos]

[junaman]

2004 Toyota Raum, 5 door, 1.5L DOHC

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Suspiciously well done there Junaman, someone did a google search.....

Anyway, heres the next one....

[Delmaster]

never seen it I think.....

it's not for Europe, is it?

is it Asian? or maybe any Australian Ford or Holden or something like this....

[Spastik_Roach]

Looks like some sort of JDM Spin off of the Toyota Camry, maybe Chinese market car? Unlikely but possible.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

2004 Ford Taurus.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Straight of the bat! Well done Dodge....

[Spastik_Roach]

Well it looked like a Volkswagen style tail light to me, but as far as I know no Volkswagen have it in this shape..

[jcp123]

audi a4

[IBrake4Rainbows]

It is German, if that helps.

And your really close, JCP....

[jcp123]

audi...S4

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Further Away. good idea with the variants though.

[jcp123]

a4 droptop (i want this one dangnabbit)? didnt realize they had diff. taillights

[IBrake4Rainbows]

You got it, don't fret.

Heres your next challenge...

[jcp123]

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nup.

HINT: from an American Manufacturer.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Chevrolet SS concept or the Pontiac Soltice (SP??)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nuh, but it is a GM product.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Nomad concept?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Close.....

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Saturn Curve!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well, that's just too perfect.

Heres a hard one for you!

[Rockefella]

touareg :confused:

[IBrake4Rainbows]

close, what kind?

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Volkswagon Touareg TDI?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nooo, but your getting warmer, Like a Hot version.....

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Volkswagon Touareg V-8 Turbo?
Or is this the Porsche Cayenne V-8 Turbo?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Hotter.

[Spastik_Roach]

Volkswagen Touareg W12 Sport!!!

[Delmaster]

A3 Audi

[Rockefella]

Volkswagen Touareg W12 Sport!!!
yeah, thats what i would have said, but couldn't since i was sleeping in school :rolleyes:

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well done Spastik, just what i was looking for.

NEXT!!!!!!!!

[KnifeEdge_2K1]

nissan s15

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Erm, care to elaborate?

[lithuanianmafia]

nissan S15 Silvia?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Your getting closer, but it's still not that close.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Nissan S15 Silvia Varietta (SP?)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Excellent work, right on the money Dodge.

NEXT!

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Toyota bB/Scion xB?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Right Manufacturer, Wrong Car.

Think Big.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Toyota Land Cruiser?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Close, but no cigar just yet.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Toyota Highlander

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Further away. Not an SUV.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

A Toyota Panel Van? I'm kinda stumped, I've seen it before and know it's a van. It look very odd to say the least. You basically sat over the front wheels and it had no hood.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

It's not the Hiace (The van you speak of) but you are right in thinking it's a commercial vehicle.

[Spastik_Roach]

Man it looks exactly like the Hiace lights!! I can't believe it.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Maybe it's the Spacia or the Townace?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

It's not a van, sorry guys.

[jcp123]

That's just a Toyota Pickup I think...

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Right o, what's it's name then?

[jcp123]

I thought it was the one before they had names...oh well. T100 then?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nup.

It's a word Name, but not a place.

[PerfAdv]

Toyota Prerunner

[IBrake4Rainbows]

nup.

try harder.....

[PerfAdv]

Toyota Hilux

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

The horrible boxy van thing.... 1980s one... dont know the name... shit.... :p

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well done to Perf, the Hilux is correct.

NEXT

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Vauxhall Astra? Kia Carens?

[Delmaster]

is it Asian or American?

[PerfAdv]

Chrysler Pacifica?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Sorry for the delay guys.

Nothing you've said is correct so far. So i'll give you a hint:

It's exported to the Middle east.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Seat Cupra?

[Esperante]

looks like an opel....

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well, Esperante is closest, it is a GM Product. But your all really far away. It's about the size of a Crown Victoria, if that helps.

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Chevrolet Malibu Maxx?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Daewoo Tacuma?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Orright. It's time for a hint.

It is a GM Product, but it's not American.

It is badged as a Chevrolet in the Middle East, but it built in the southern Hemisphere, in a certain country i will not name.

It comes in 3 guises. This particular one is the Hottest version, packing 298 Kw from it's LS2 engine.

GOOD LUCK.

[lithuanianmafia]

Chevrolet Caprice SS?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Not quite.....

It's Australian.

[Spastik_Roach]

Well I just can't get it. I've never seen a Holden with that sorta style of tail lamp.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Your right to suggest it's a Holden, but not quite right......

Think about your Local member of Parliament. His transport on speed.....

[Spastik_Roach]

Well I don't know what Steve Marhery drives lol.

umm

Holden Caprice/ Statesman? The government here is all for Ford LTD"s tho..

[IBrake4Rainbows]

So very close.....

[Spastik_Roach]

Holden Statesman 5.7L V8?

HSV Grange?

[IBrake4Rainbows]

That last one should do it.

Well done Spastik.

[Spastik_Roach]

E34 BMW 5 Series.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

not quite.

[Spastik_Roach]

Ac Schnitzer E34 5 Series?

BMW M5?

Bmw 7 Series?

[PerfAdv]

E34 Touring model, stationwagon.

[Spastik_Roach]

Of Course!

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Well done, it is the E34 Touring, a 545i to be precise.....

NEXT!

[Delmaster]

BMW 5series '90s model sedan

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Or an M5, E39 model

[jcp123]

E36 3-series Hatch. Don't ask me how I heard of an E36.

[lithuanianmafia]

the Hamann 3-Series?

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

M3 (e36)

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Ok, sorry for the wait, well done JCP.

And for the record, it's official BMW term is the E36 BMW 3 series Compact.

NEXT!

Back to the classics. or the Mid-80's for my generation, anyway.....

[PerfAdv]

Alfa Romeo GTV-6

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Nup..

[DodgeNitroBIRM]

Ford Falcon?

[stratos]

fiat 131 abarth ?? :confused:

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Ok, the first guess was close.....

after that, you went off on a tangent.

[stratos]

alfa romeo montreal ??
