Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted January 1, 2012 that is strange, maybe that is part of the cars "idiosyncrasy's" Maybe thats another reason why he didn't allow Agasa to drive the car Apparently the handling is supposed to be.... well ... trying to put it nicely.... bad.Maybe he was trying to counter his good driving through a handicap so no one would notice...

Kyuu Nye 425 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 As per Chek's request... I have identified Chiba's car as a Toyota Yaris 3-door Probably from the 2000s (so fairly new) Edited with pictures. Images will be spoilered for size: manga: Real life Arial side view: It occurs to me that unless the anime team screwed up again, it is likely the same car from earlier in the manga/anime which is a Fiat 500 compact. EDIT: Not per Chek's request I identified Eri's Mini. I cannot make a definitive ID, due to body and light similarities between models... I can tell you that it is likely from the Mini Cooper Mark VII production line (ranged from 1996-2000) It is likely a Mini Cooper 1.3i (which actually had production from 1991-2000) The year is impossible to ascertain. I would estimate a Mark VII model though as it had the more modern multipoint injection system. And Gosho seems to not give overly classic cars to most characters. Gin and Yukiko are the exceptions. And those are easily identifiable and have significant reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that it is a work in progress and some of the vehicles have been identified while others haven't. If you can figure out what they are and add information, that would be excellent.

Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 We have a guy on the wiki saying Kir's car is a Citroen BX, not an XM. Thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tengaku squared 291 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 We have a guy on the wiki saying Kir's car is a Citroen BX, not an XM. Thoughts? I looked up a few pictures of the BX, and the BX has that double up arrow thing in the front, next to the headlight, just like Kir's car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 that guy is right imo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyuu Nye 425 Report post Posted August 11, 2012 It depends on the angle of the shot TBH. There isn't a good angular shot to be sure. However... The BX tended to have the yellow turn signal lights on the outside of the headlights, while the XM didn't. Unless it is the GTi... XM BX Edit: I just realized I over looked the windshield wiper. The XM had double while the BX had single. So yeah, the Wiki user is right. Though that is the deciding factor. The grilles are identical. And they screwed up the headlights (the BX had yellow lights, which are not shown in the anime) Edit 2: Here is the car that fits the best. Its the Citroen BX GTi. Apologies for that initial oversight. And corrected in wiki. I messed up changing picture last time, so I'll allow someone else to do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyuu Nye 425 Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Can you post info on who/where you got the picture so credit can be given? Was from Flickr. Here is the original link to the photoset. Looks like it was originally from autotrader.nl BTW, that one pictured is the larger brother of the GTi which is the GTi 16V. However, as far as I know they are alike in every way except the 16V has, well 16 valves. So it produces a higher power (and is supposedly more reliable). There is no way to tell if it is an 8 valve GTi or a 16 valve GTi. I just put in the Wiki that it was a GTi and left it at that. Unless Gosho gives more info like he did with Sato or Yukiko, I don't want to do specifics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted August 15, 2012 I fixed the picture, although I didn't wind up using yours, Kyuu, in favor of one where I could definitely track down the original poster (also GNU licensed). It's a pretty hideous pic, but it definitely is the right car. I also screenshot a few cars for ID.

Cider 1 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 I found Chianti's bike during the Clash of Red and Black case. It is a Ducati Superbike, although I'm not sure about the specific version. Real image: Manufacturer's website: http://www.ducati.com/bikes/superbike/index.do I couldn't figure out Vodka's and Korn's bikes in the same case, however. As for Vodka's car, I'm pretty sure it's the Porsche 914. Again, I'm not certain about the year/ model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 @Cider, done and added. I nailed down Jodie's showdown with Vermouth car as a Peugeot 607. A French car fits with the Saint émilion wine red herring name I guess. I also have a new batch of pictures! Takagi Suggestions: Detective Kudo: lexus ls400 toyota crown Vermouth - IDed as first gen Prius Center antenna mounted forward, funny hood shape, some sort of box buttons or lights on the side Leftovers (credit to whoever uploaded the pictures in earlier posts) Snake London case car (Not sure if it belongs to Juno Glass or Ares Ashley) Anime photos (Source: Episode 619) Manga photos (Source: File 747) Yui Uehara's car - IDed as eighth gen Honda Accord Suggestions: Balthazar: Honda Accord ( year 2008 ) Kyuu: @Balthazar: Nice job on Yui's car. I'm just not sure its 2008. Accords are one of those cars that don't change much, so year is hard to determine. However, I think it was the 2008 model that started that grille design though. If the file came out in 2008 or 2009 then it is most likely 2008. If it came out later 2010 or this past year, then it could be a later model. Balthazar: Well, the mansion of death and the red wall was in the year 2008 or 2009, cant remember, and the front of that car matches to the one i have found. I checked the early year models too but did not find any car that looked like that i will check sometimes later to be more sure Kyuu:If that is the case, then yeah... Because the 08' model was on its way out and the '09 on the way in. Thus it would be more likely for Yui to have that (cheaper to get an older model than new, and traffic cops don't exactly have the best salary). In order to ID the year we need information on the characters themselves as well. Pictures are not enough. Because depending on the money at hand and where they were, could mean the difference. Satou is especially difficult, because we know she was on mountain passes and interested long before her car appeared in the manga (so long as we can believe what Yui said). Which is why we IDed her car as we did. Anime photos (Source: Episodes 557, 558) Manga photos (Source: Files 680, 683, 684) Fusae Campbell's car (No good shots of the car from the manga) Suggestions: Detective Kudo: 1960's-ish rolls royce or 1960's-ish Jaguar Balthazar: Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud Kyuu: 1960's-ish Bently Anime photos (Source: Episode 422) Heiji's Bike.

Cider 1 Report post Posted September 3, 2012 @Chek: Good job on the Peugeot! Do you remember the black car Vermouth drove to spy on Busujima Kiriko in the beginning of episode 425? I think it was a Benz, but I need more pictures to confirm it. Also, can you please find some good shots of Korn's and Vodka's bikes from the anime episodes of the Clash of Red and Black? Thank you in advance Chek! Vermouth's car as Araide is a first gen Toyota Prius, produced from 1997 to 2003. (Vermouth drives a Prius!!!!) I believe Takagi's is a sixth gen Nissan Maxima (2004 to 2008) Yui Uehara's is an eighth gen Honda Accord, I'm not entirely sure which year, possibly from 2008. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chekhov MacGuffin 1089 Report post Posted September 3, 2012 I think you have Uehara's and Vermouth's nailed (nice work!), but the lowest part of the front of the sixth gen Nissan Maxima doesn't match Takagi's and Takagi's doesn't have that line bar on the lower part of the side... I went searching for Hattori's bike and it looks a bit like a Suzuki RMX, but I don't think that's quite it. An SMX DRZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cider 1 Report post Posted September 3, 2012 @Chek: Hattori's bike could be any dirtbike, but the one you found looks quite like it. If we had the year the episode was published, maybe we can narrow the search down. I texted a friend of mine that works at a car dealership the picture of Takagi's car, and we both believe it's a Nissan. I found this Nissan Tiida/ Tiida Latio/ Nissan Versa. The problem with Nissan is that they have different names in different parts of the world so I'll have to keep digging. These look promising though. Opinions?

Cider 1 Report post Posted September 4, 2012 I'm confirming Takagi's model. It's the Nissan Tiida Latio (from 2008) Also, I have an idea what Snake's car might be. It's a Benz from around the 60's. I just need time comparing the different models. This is the W111 The W112 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sundown 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2012 The grey car should be Shiratori's car and that could be a lexus ls400 toyota crown? its hard because the two pictures look like different cars. the second pic looks like a BMW headlights The LS400 (Later brought over to Japan as the Toyota Celsior) has more profound headlamps, and the car in question appears to be a bit athletic. Most likely a Toyota Crown JZS155. @Cider: It does look like a cross between a Ducati 848/1098. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacs 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2012 Hey everyone I'm a new member of this forum and I think I might have found Fusae Campbells car. It could be a Jaguar Mark 2. Like Detective Kudo suggested it was built during the 1960´s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALAKTORN 170 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 I’ve been rewatching this old episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snD_GRm1QKM and I’ve been wondering, since Gin’s car as a mention of its first appearance license plate, should Agasa’s have it too? at least in that episode, Agasa’s is slightly different to what it is now (has あ instead of ひ, which also breaks the pun I think) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sundown 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 Edited a bit on the FBI vans - identified as the Toyota HiAce/Regius Ace. (Note: I couldn't find a better black HiAce photo, so Speedhunters will do.) Apart from the grill, their headlight/taillight assemblies are strikingly similar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
