About This Quiz
VROOM VROOM! A short walk down any street will probably have you looking at different car brands, but today, we're keeping it domestic! From Ford to Dodge to Chevrolet, can you identify these American cars?
German inventor Karl Benz is credited with creating the first automobile with an internal engine. Although his first prototype only had three wheels, the innovation was ingenious. This happened in the 1880s. Cars would then be brought all around the world and made to be more sophisticated.
As you'd probably guess, the car brand Mercedes-Benz is a German-formed brand named after Karl Benz. The country is also known for Audi, BMW, and Porsche. Japan is known for the popular Nissan, Toyota, and Honda, while Italy can be named for Ferrari, Fiat, Lamborghini, and Maserati. While these countries are known for these vehicles, the United States also has a long list of vehicles it's recognized for. Could you recognize them from a picture?
Some home-grown United States car brands are FCA US, Ford, and General Motors. Under these brands, you'd find divisions such as Chrysler, Jeep, Ford, Cadillac, and GMC. With all these American cars on the street, can you identify them from a picture?
Are you ready to put the pedal to the metal and speed right into this quiz? There's only one way to find out!
