I think I see a Citroen C1 that would make a great amateur racer like BOM is doing.

Oh, and I took a picture for you that isn’t really terrible. I’m wondering how many of these you can identify. All of them are feasible.

Dacia Duster, Peugeot 206 and Citroen C4 parked up and white Renault Twingo doing it’s thing.

And Renault Clio Mk1 parked up on the near side. 

Am I right?

I’m guess on the Duster as the grille looks more Dacia than Renault.

It’s been pissing it down here for the last 24+ hours (bar three when it was really sunny and lovely), we’ve got flood warnings for much of the county and flooded roads just outside the city.

Oh the fun.

Nope, not a C1 :)

I would say that its a Charger, a Scion something, a Cruze, a Caravan then a bland sedan (could be a Taurus, a Camry or whatever of that same style) and something that looks to be a pickup, maybe a Mitsubishi .

On the right, a green... something.

No it’s not a Duster, it’s a Dokker or a Lodgy, not sure which one as the front is identical and it’s getting too dark.

But it seems that the car was already here on a previous DOTS which would confirms it’ s a Lodgy.

Toyota Aygo and gang? Looks like one of the supermini triplets.

You got the Charger right (didn’t even confuse it for a Challenger) but the rest are wrong besides the Grand Caravan . I thought you got the Chevy Spark? That one is a surprisingly high trim with nice wheels. Then you’ve got a Chevy Impala (much larger than a Cruze).

Behind the Caravan is the North American Honda Accord. It’s different from what you guys got as I understand. Ours was a largish sedan with the occasional coupe while I think you guys got mid sized lift back thingies that weren’t related.

Then another Infiniti QX80. Mitsubishi hasn’t sold a truck here in over 20 years! Weird that they haven’t given the Nissan Frontier competition for cheap fleet trucks.

Then you’ve got the fairly obscure Chrysler 200 on the right. It does not appear to be green.

Maybe this one will be easier.

Damn it, close but no cigar.

Oh wait, never mind. I’ve my own cigars. :)

I had to check on Wikipedia what the modern Accord looks like, i don’t think i ever saw one more recent than the 6th gen (ended in 2002), Honda is slowly dying here (and it has been worse since then) :

From the right i would say a Kia that looks like a Mercedes (someone has one on Oppo), a Suburban, an Econoline, a Voyager and then... another of those bland sedans, an Altima maybe?

No, another wretched Chrysler 200. Weird they keep showing up in these shots. You got the Suburban right but the vans we got were “Grand Caravans,” not Voyagers for that gen. Econoline, yup. You must not have done your homework because that’s a Honda Accord on the left.

I can definitely understand why Honda is dying over there. The current Civic is the first one I’ve liked since the 2000s. I’ve always liked the Accord, especially in manual V6 coupe flavor, but the big sedan has lost the two door this generation and has recently had the manual discontinued. It is on my bucket list to one day own a circa 2014 Accord coupe V6 6MT in blue. It’s so hard to find one that isn’t an automatic 4 cylinder . I still see previous gen coupes on every corner but the current gen is pretty scarce. 

Too bad that even the CRV, once a fairly interesting utility vehicle , has now become a bloat-boat suburban war machine (we never got the HRV until recently) . Modern Honda is really losing their way along with Toyota. And Acura has become way less differentiated from Honda as well. 2000s Hondas and Acuras were very good but they’ve gradually become the same thing with different price tags.
