About This Quiz
Some were named after the planets in our solar system. Others were named after their founders, the men who built these massive auto manufacturers. Some were foreign and from far-flung places in Asia and Europe. While others yet formed part of the American motor industry, based in Motor City, Detroit.
Yes, you probably know quite a few of them but can you ace this race to name a host of car makers in this deceptive test. Of course, a car lover such as yourself will get the obvious brands. It's those lesser known ones that will throw a spanner in the works, so to speak.
But don't fret. With three models given as clues for you to guess the brand, there should be enough information for you to zoom from pole position to first over the line, accepting the checkered flag and the glory. Sorry, we can't give you any milk or champagne.
So what are you waiting for! This is a test of your memory, overall car knowledge with just a bit of luck thrown in.
BeFORD you start, make sure you are prepared in CHEVROLET!
Three, two, one, goooo! The light turns green. It's all up to you now! Best of luck to you!
