Check out the other levels of this quiz: Easy – Medium – Extreme
Congratulations for reaching this level! Well, we like to think you arrived here after defeating the Easy and the Medium ones. The other option is that you decided to give up on the Extreme one, for which we will not blame you… the most common word I have heard in people’s feedback from that one is “impossible”. Either way, this time we will challenge your knowledge on names of car models at the Hard level.
It is common for automakers to name cars using alphanumeric codes – yes, just like the German ones do. The biggest advantage is making it easy to identify what position each car takes on the line. On the other hand, many car enthusiasts consider such strategy inexpressive, because those codes rarely have a strong meaning. The following questions are going to play with them and the companies that have used them.
