About This Quiz

Everyone likes getting surprised by a gift now and then, and at Christmas, it's hard not to get caught up in all the fun. Brightly colored paper with ribbons and bows piled high under a tree, it's exciting. It makes you feel like a kid again. But while a lot of kids are happy with the latest toy or video game system as an adult, you may have more refined tastes. You like a practical gift. A new pair of socks or a belt. An Instant-Pot. A new car! Sadly most of us don't get those in real life, and even if you are lucky enough to get a brand new car for the holidays, when's the last time you saw one wrapped up, anyway?

Now sure, gift-wrapping a Corvette or a Cadillac is a little awkward and difficult in real life, but this is the miracle of the internet. So get yourself in the spirit of the automotive season and take a look through our list of mostly nice and maybe a few naughty cars, all wrapped up nice and pretty for the holidays. We're not even sure Santa Claus could figure them all out, but let's see how well you do.
