EcoModder QUIZ: name that hybrid

[cfg83]

MetroMPG -

A rare 100% for me. I think it came from knowing the "design aesthetic" of each manufacturer more than anything. I almost picked the new Insight over the Ford Fusion because both have big horizontal chunks of chrome. But the Fusion has *three* horizontal chunks. Lexus grilles are easy to identify. The Chevy trucks were the hardest to guess.

Woo, congrats on the win!

I consciously tried not to make this one too hard. I'll save that for later. I'll do a ninja hard version for fun after I make a few more regular ones.

Got an 85%. I haven't been keeping up to date on new cars like I did back around high school.

On the 2nd gen insite there was the top half of a honda sign peeking over the car. Also I got the Saturn Aura by the badge between the front wheel and door, but just cause there was a badge there, not cause I could read it. And when did Toyota start making Altimas!?! (2nd question)

Some of it for me is the head/tail lights. Some side shots (highlander) and unfamiliar headlights (1gen civic) threw me off, as well as not recognizing some of the newer cars.

Off to try the electric vehicle quiz.

Can't wait for the ninja hard version. I got 100% and thought it was a bit too easy. I would have had a harder time, especially with the trucks, if the choices had been more similar to each other. I especially liked the Inrius option. lol!

I guessed wrong on the Aura / Malibu. Later, the other one showed up and made my mistake obvious.

Pale: you're forgiven - GM just cancelled the Malibu hybrid (according to recent headlines). I've never seen one myself.

Ha! Ben (SVOboy) got mad at me for including that as an option. Congrats!

[PaleMelanesian]

Off topic: I can't imagine WHY they canceled it! $4000 for a battery and automatic start-stop controller.

[drew2000]

easy.

Just bumping this thread to let subscribed people know that we've added another one, this time about aerodynamic production cars:
