About This Quiz

People weren't huge fans of most of the cars of the '70s and '80s, so there wasn't much hope for the decade that was set to follow, the '90s. It seemed like the '60s was the high-water mark of auto design because of its fast and powerful sports and muscle cars and that the automotive world was on a steady decline since 1970. But car lovers were pleasantly surprised when the '90s came around, mostly due to the design changes and upgrades they saw during those 10 years. Gone were the boxy, performance-lacking slow cars; it was in with the curves again! The '90s saw a new dawn for vehicles, and it's one of the reasons why most of the cars made during that decade are still around today. And while we can't exactly call them "classics" yet (because they aren't that old), they are pretty legendary.

So, we're going to show you a few of the best vehicles that were made between 1990 and 1999. Your job is to correctly name that vehicle, so we can test just how much you know about the cars that ran (or should it be "drove") the streets more than 19 years ago. Let's see if you pass with flying colors or if you'll get a flat tire on the way.
