Let's see if you can manufacture the right response!

Throughout history, the automobile has evolved from a bulky and sometimes crude chassis to more sleek and elegant designs. Likewise, as the decades have gone by, countless manufacturers have been born, died out, or experienced unbridled success. There are dozens of car manufacturers in the world - from obscure companies with a few models to their name to multinational manufacturers that have a wide array of vehicles in their catalog. The manufacturing of vehicles is not limited to one part of the world as well; in fact, vehicle manufacturers can be found in North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

In this high-octane quiz, we have taken a handful of well-known vehicles and put them all together to see if you have what it takes to match them to their manufacturers correctly. Shift gears at the right time put the pedal to the metal, and keep your eyes on the prize! Strap in and let's see if you have what it takes to prove yourself against this automotive quiz.
