About This Quiz
You might scratch your head if asked to tell the products of two Japanese car makers apart, but as you'll see from this quiz, they're actually quite distinctive brands!
If you are still stuck in the '70s mindset that all Japanese cars are, while well made, fairly boxy, practical and certainly not at all sexy or powerful, you're in for a shock, my quiz-taking friend! Toyota, long known for cars like the Corolla and Tercel, which have hauled young married couples, kids driving their first cars and budget conscious urban dwellers for several decades, now makes some of the brawniest, most mud-slinging pickup trucks on the planet. You'll have to look a good, long while to find a truck more durable and willing to haul the biggest load than the Tundra.Â
If sports cars are your groove, the Celica is guaranteed to draw the attention of every police radar gun along the interstate. Be careful with that gas pedal!
Honda, long known for some of the best motorcycles in the world (even if the Harley guys call them rice burners) has established itself as a force to be reckoned with in the car market. The Accord has won just about every "best car" award at least once, the Civic is a commuter favorite, the Odyssey is a boss minivan and the Ridgeline (besides having a cool name) is an outstanding truck.
So, can you tell these vehicles apart by a picture? Take the quiz and find out!
