Right, NecroJoe is not creative. I'll take the next one then:

1. A supermini that's been on sale for 23 years
2. It's been replaced by a car which is one level smaller after it ceased production

That's exactly right! And its sister, the Applause, was a liftback, despite its 3 box shape.

You're next! Hope you're creative images/smilies/tongue.gif

1. This vehicle had rust problems due to a design flaw that was not resolved until a complete redesign after 22 years of production.

2. Like the Charade, the current version is smaller than the original.


I'm kinda new to this, so help with the timing of more specific hints would be appreciated.

A new hint will be needed after about 4-5 wrong guesses IMO.

Hmmm... Chevrolet Nova?

Nope, Nova is no longer in production (at least not here in the States). I should specify that it the name has slightly changed over the years.

OK, in a effort to rejuvenate the thread, here's another clue:

3) This vehicle had a removable roof from 1969 (year it was introduced) to 1976, after which it was a standard hard top.

No, not the Charger, which to my knowledge was never convertible.

I noticed this rule hasn't been utilised much (from TC's first post): "Participants/guessers can ask anything they want, be they yes-or-no questions or what-have-you."

Also note that I reworded the third clue a bit to make it more specific.
