Now that is what I call a creative teaser! I really enjoyed trying to figure them all out. Got almost all of them but got stuck on #5-Toyota (and I drive a Camry!) and #12 Chrysler. I figured out the cry portion but not the slurr. Oh well, 10 out of 12 isn't too, bad. I really like your play on words and would love to see more of these! The are fun! Good job!
I get it! nice! i like it! a lot!
Number five was the best.
Use the torque...

Loved it! I'm definitely adding it to my favorites! Number 5 is hilarious!
These were makers I don't mind meeting .. good job .. not nearly as expensive as a trip to the dealer!
I added this one to my favorites! It was a lot of fun!
I loved the toyota one! very clever!
Nice
toyota, that was a masterpiece.
Clever! I enjoyed them all especially (everyone elses fave) Toyota - definitely creative and as they said before a masterpiece!
I missed a few of your more creative ones. Good job. Well thought out.
This was great. I missed 1 and 12, and I drive a #1 You have to do more of these. Adding to my favorites.
great job! but i got non (lol) although i am such a car freak. I am having doubts on my abilities.......
Good One!!!!!!!!
10 out of 12 . The only ones I missed were #1 and#5. The problem is I drive a Ford and am a huge STARWARS fan! In any case this goes to my favorites. More like this PLEASE!
Version 2 of Automobile Makes coming soon. Stay tuned.
good job
great teaser!!!
Very creative! I especially liked the Toyota one!

i didn't think it was that good
I only got Saturn, Lincoln, & Mercury. Oh well. Good one though, keep em coming!!!
I missed #5--thought of all the Star Wars cast, except Yoda! And I have all the first 3 films and 2 of the prequels !
Number 6 threw me. I wasn't thinking about the fact you said MAKE of car, not model. I thought of NOMAD, an old Chevy station wagon from the 50s.
And for number 9, which is DODGE, I was thinking of a Ford Escape. DUH!! LOL
Oh well. I got most of them. Gimme more!!!

Toyota (toy yoda, HA HA)
That was great!!
Gotta love the toyota one

My last name is "Ohta" and I've driven Toyota's most of my life. One of my nicknames (for a while, was Yoda".. so.. I got ToYoda.. actually.. it was one of the FEW that I got!

This was a good one. I enjoyed it.
I thought #6 was explorer.
Cute
Nice - creative with Toyota!
Great! Really fun....I agree with everyone who has written, "More, please!"
Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
And yes, Toy Yoda was my fave also
Boakley's taste for teasers is in his ***

SOME OF THESE WERE REALLY HARD BUT GOOD ONES!
Name the automobile makes was a pretty cool brain teaserto me!!!!
I liked "Nomad" for #6.
I HADE #6 AS AN EXPLORER AND #9 AS A (DODGE) DART. YODA HAD ME CONFUSED AND IT MIGHT BE THE MOST OBVIOUS . I WAS STUCK ON SKYLARK. NICE 1.
SORRY ABOUT THE CAPITALS
Clever Ideal, Good teaser, it was fun to do. Good Job
Now this was my kind of teaser. Where do i start? Crerative, clever, fun, inventive, it has them all. Very well done, give me more!
Actually to be specific.
Ford is the make.
Explorer is a model of the
make. I guess the clue
"closed mouth singer"
would be a Hummer.
An army engineer war veteran
would be a Corp-vet ( Corvette ).

Keep 'em coming! Can't wait for version 2!
Hahah! I got some of em but not so mcuh others! Loved it tho!
Not sure what I think about this one. It was easy and hard all at the same time.
Terrific. I even liked Toyota.
LOVED IT!!! especially toyota, LOL keep ones like this coming, cant get enough good riddles!!!
Very imaginative! This one stumped me on #12, and on #5, I used Ranger. OMG! you can't be right ALL of the time...lol Keep up the good work.
More Please! Definitly have to email this to all my friends. Creative. Great Work
The best teaser of it's kind that I've seen in a while.
Great teaser! I also guessed "Explorer", but knew it had to be wrong because it was a make, not a model. Making the same mistake twice, I guessed "Element" for "heavy metal". And, instead of getting the very clever "Toy Yoda", I kept thinking "Han Doll", aka "Honda"

I thought they were cute, but way too easy.
Abso;utely one of the better ones-great job! Give me more!!!
Love these!
That was fun. Toyota was great, only one I didn't get.
Too tough for this chick that drives a (Star Wars action figure) mini-van!
Thanks for a great tease!
Thanks for a great tease!
hey, rili nys... 'speciali lykd ur cmmnt on 5's answr... qte... haha...
I loved these--but I had NOMAD for #6, and ION (thought of Iron) instead of Mercury. I thought the Star Wars one was JETTA (from Jedi), but toy Yoda was very cute! Chrysler was an easy one. I get confused when thinking of MAKES and MODELS of cars--even after the onslaught of commercials! Thanks for the fun!
Very clever, good job!
This one was fun Well done!
good ones!
CHILD'S PLAY TOO EASY! MY 15 YEAR OLD NIECE GOT ALL OF THEM
I'M STILL AWAITING CHALLENGES

I am glad I'm a car freak.
Yeah, this one was a lot of fun & it wasn't too easy nor too hard. Really good job!!!
HAHA! loved it! that was the best teaser i've seen in a VERY long time. it wasn't too easy, but wasn't too hard. it's really hard to find that fine line, either it's way easy and i get it right away, or it's beyond me and i don't even try. i can't wait for number 2!
i got like the first 4, but didn't work hard enough for the rest. loved the toyota one, i kept trying to figure that one out, i actually thought it might be toyota from the toy part but i didn't figure the rest out. awesome teaser, keep em coming!

I really enjoyed this one, good job! I got Trooper for the Star Wars figure, and Explorer for the world traveler, but I couldn't figure out diminutive= Mini for the life of me!
i really enjoyed this one and i got half right. ask my two teenage granddaughters for help one got toyota but said no duh .they said they don't really look at cars unless a cute boy is driving it.
really good teaser, keep up the good work
really good teaser, keep up the good work

Fun! Fun! Fun!
got 7 of 12-lotta fun
Still catching ujp on back mail. This was really great and creative. Can't wait for #2
Good one; very fun!
This teaser is awesome!
great teaser, however it was great a few years ago when I rated it . I haven't been able to rate a rerun teaser in over a week. Any new ones, please?
Another oldie makes the list!!!
New to me. I didn't get #5 or 12, otherwise I did pretty good. Fun teaser.
I missed Land Rover and Toy Yoda. I got most of them immediately, but Sob and Cryslur took some thinking. Good Teaser.
I got some, others not! There was more than one that was a stretch. I do not like cutsey ones that the creator thinks up in their head and thinks we all should figure out what is going on up there. Glad you all liked it. I am entitled to my opinion though.
For #5 I was coming up with the Corvair. I was thinking Darth Vader which sounds a lot like Ralph Nader. {You younger kids can Google Ralph Nader Corvair.}
And on #4 I could only come up with Chevrolet. That's because mine always made me weep convulsively.
Good teaser. Fun.

To each his own, I guess. Not knowing cars, it did not interest me.
I agree with some others that some of the answers were more than a bit of a stretch. However, some of the proposed answers were no better in that regard also being a bit out there.
While cars themselves do not interest me and my knowledge of cars is limited to 1) This pedal makes it go 2) this pedal makes it stop, and (3) The round thing in front of me aims it . .. I know NOTHING about cars at all. You throw a 34d pedal in the mix and I'd have to take a bus; I still enjoyed trying to figure out the models at which the clues pointed.

Possible additional answers - besides Range Rover how about Explorer? Also isn't there a car called Ocelot which is also a spotted cat?
I stick by my 2012 comment, but have to add that I loved the comment given by Habs. It made me laugh out loud.
very nice..although didn't care much for 5 or 12
After the first three I thought this was too easy. Then some started to stump me. I ended up getting them all, but really had to think. Chysler came quickly for me, but I laughed out loud when I figured out Toyota and Saab. I ran through car names to see what fit. Very creative and fun!
For those who enjoyed this teaser, "Automobile Makes 2" is the sequel if you're interested.
I really enjoyed this one. I was like Snowdog, thinking it was really easy at first. Had to start thinking when I got a little farther along. I got Trooper for #5, but Toyota is much better! Looking forward to #2.
Fun, challenging and entertaining teaser; I do not know much about cars and only could come up with four of them.
