About This Quiz
So you think you know your stuff when it comes to identifying cars, do you? Well then, hit that accelerator, spin up those wheels and lay down some rubber! Your knowledge will be put to the test when it comes to identifying vehicles from one iconic American brand, and a Japanese luxury vehicle maker.
Chrysler has a long and distinguished history in the automotive world, while Lexus, only around for the last 30 years, is backed by one of the biggest car companies in the world - Toyota.
So where do you come in with all of this? Well, would you be able to identify some models from these two manufacturers?ÂÂ
Could you just look at one single image and decide if it was a model from Chrysler or one from Lexus? From sedans to station wagons, coupes, convertibles ... you name it, they are on our quiz. And while some are obvious, others are not. It might not be as easy as you think.ÂÂ
So as a car nut, aim for glory, the checkered flag and victory lane, where the champagne or milk (your preference), is on ice. A true auto aficionado certainly would stand a chance of finishing in pole position in this quiz! So what are you waiting for?ÂÂ
