[rusrocket]

[SCO]

ok the questions are made for people over 50

that's what i just wanted to say !

it's about the HISTORY of cars , not the new technologies and latest cars

[cooperluke]

Well, I'm only 26, I'm not American, and had 40%!!! Not bad.... not bad at all!! :D

[Stoopie]

Your final score is 40%

LOL I only knew the cars from the movies and guessed some other questions correctly :P

[M4tt83]

I got 47%, but plenty of the correct answers were guesses. I was only sure about 3 or 4. :mrgreen:

[saadie]

this is not a test of how much you know about cars ... its got nothing to do with it actually :\ ..
im up Q15 ... all questions i got were related to cars in the US

this is more of a how much you know about car history in US ... :\

[dutchmasterflex]

Haha, stop whining cause you guys can't get high scores and prove that you are really a car guru.

[TopGearNL]

This test says nothing.

Everyone has a certain interest in one make or a couple of makes, theres no way you can know everything.

52% :wink:

[Minacious]

53

[gangajas]

[chest3r]

It's all about american market and I don't know much about it!

I was only 100% sure in 2 or 3 questions, all the rest were guesses :P

47%

[blinkmeat]

[666fast]

50percent

Definitely yankeee doodledandy orientated questions

Double Whammy. -30 cool points


I got 77%

[ZfrkS62]

it really is a shitty test. very typical of car coverage in American media, focusing on pop culture BS etc.

That's what the 50's were though. Most of our pop culture came out of the 50's and 60's. If you look at the title, it's geared towards the baby boomers who were growing up in that era.

[novass]

I got 77%

Some I knew, some I guessed. I guess all the car related shows my TiVo tapes have finally become of some use :D

[sameerrao]

I got 80%. Am in the 92.8% percentile of Newsweek survey based on 28193 response. Woo hoo!! Awesome! I am the man! 8)

Oh Cripes - it must mean I'm old. Fuck! :lol:

I bet Jabba and RC - the really old farts here - will get 90%+. And what about the 75 year old Ronin ;)

[Pokiou]

what a shit test.. gimme back my 10 minutes of my life ...

[5vz-fe]

40%...ah crap. In my defence, there are many american history in there LOL

[sameerrao]

^^ Louis Chevrolet was Swiss.

[ZfrkS62]

Also Toyata is NOT the number one Auto brand, that is a lie.

apparently you were under your rock when it was announced that they overtook GM in sales.

Bitch and moan all you want but it's true.

[sentra_dude]

63%, that was a tough test! Definitely geared towards American cars. :P

[acmarttin]

Well at least now I know when the cup holder was invented.

40% guessed on nearly all of them

[silentm]

lol funny to read all the comments :lol:

it's just a stupid test, i didn't find it very good either ;) but because the quiz was car related i thought i'd post it.

[dutchmasterflex]

So GM beat out Toyota in March, April and May?

[dutchmasterflex]

Actually in May GM sold 591,133 cars and trucks while Toyata sold a small 437,293 cars and trucks in May.

GM sold 371,056 cars in May while Toyata sold a tiny 269,023.

Yeah Sales Leader huh? :roll:

Just wait until the annual reports are written ;)

If Toyota doesn't "officially" take the lead this year, they will in near future. From an analyst perspective, I'd put my money in TMC stock rather than GM.
