New game: Have I Got CarNews For You!

Some of you may know the show 'Have I got news for you' on BBC2, well I think we can make a good game out of it. There are a few types of games:

-The story behind the pictures (I post a picture of a car or a driver and you got to tell me why it was in the news.)
-The odd one out (I post 4 pictures and you have to pick the odd one out, based on the news around the cars.)
-The headline (I will post a headline of an article about a car, you have to guess what car it is.)

Now I have to have a second person who wants to organize the comp with me because I don't have much free time to keep it running in the weekend.

Some basic rules:
-You know the answer, post it. If it's correct you get 1 point.
-No more than 2 guesses on each item.
-I will post a maximum of 2-3 items a day.

Good luck and fun!

There we go, the first one: Why was this car in the news? (Name car for 0,5 bonus points)

Guess what's the odd one out for 0,5 points and if you can give the reason, you get 1 point.

lancer (2nd pic) is the odd one out, its japanese, the other three are euro.

True, but that's now what I'm looking for. Remember, it has been in the news!

Jaguar is the odd-one. It's a face-lift, whereas the others are new models.

Also true, but still not what I'm looking for...

could it be that jaguar, ace, and whatever the first car is is under ford, and thus in the news because of its financial woes?

Nope.... and that was your 2nd guess...

Skoda under Ford :confused: Or AC?

skoda? thats what it is? oh, fair enough, i didnt know what it was :o

Or it can be the AC-Smart, because it still exists only as a sketch, the other cars are real. Or because it's a re-skinning of another car. Or Jaguar again, because it's the only one that's been officially prsesnted. The others still wait to be officially presented next year. Too many possibilities

Or maybe the AC-Smart is the only 2-door car and the only convertible too. And the only one which its doors open vertically (at least in the sketch).

Ok, it's the AC/Smart... you both get 0,5 points...

It was the AC because it's the only new car that changed brand/manufacturer...

Current standings:
whiteballz: 1,5
go.pawel: 0,5
Ferrer: 0,5

And the final item for today, the headline:

(....) wants to build a sedan.

One brand, one answer, one point...

EDIT - And this time really not more than 2 guesses

Porsche

Aston ? ( how "new" are the headlines. the Rapide was early this year )

Both wrong... headlines are from no older than let's say a month...

I can move them again if you want... how about no older than a week? :D

[QUOTE=jorismo]I can move them again if you want... how about no older than a week? :D[/QUOTE]

Rover has been bought by Ford?

The rights to the Rover name are owned by a Dutch company (the importer of Rover) which is now negotiating with the Chinese,,

On a previus post.. New Skoda Fabia?
