I was going to post the answers this morning, but I have run out of time and must get to work.

No BLOG thread this morning?!? KidSpace actually slept in?!?

That's it? I thought a few others might want to try, but anyway MAMONTE wins the challenge with 8 right answers being the highest score. Only 2 people took a real stab and it - ChevySSGirl gets honorable mention. Everybody else: feel shame. Was it that hard of a challenge?


a. 09 Camry

b. 09 528i

c. 09 Accord

d. 08 Charger

e. 09 G8 (for shame! nobody guessed it! maybe it not such a hot design after all?)

f. 08 Jetta

g. 09 Fusion

h. 09 Maxima

i. 09 S-class ($150,000+!!! and it looks like everything else)

j. 09 Mazda6

k. 09 Malibu

l. 09 Sonata

m. 04 MonteCarlo

n. 2010 Camaro

The Monte is the most character strong of 'em all, because even the casual enthusiast could recognize the car by only a fender. Props go to Dodge for not making a "cookie cutter sedan" - their car is instantly recognizable. I'm not a big fan of the Charger, but its all theirs. Great coupe's like Mustang's, Challengers, Camaro's, even the Genesis Coupe would be easy enough to detect. Its the sedan market that lacking originality, but for some reason companies are always trying to faze coupe's out.

Thanks for playin'!

I'm guessing the 04 Monte is actually Brent's car right after he bought it? But before the customization of the outside.

Yeah, that one was me. From the same photo shoot as my wife in the bikini actually. I have pics of the car in all of its phases on my car domain page (and it will keep evolving). I didn't want to give it away by using a current pic - it was harder to figure out which kind of car with no decals *L

1. sure looks like a newer Impala to me.

But one thing is clear. All new or newer cars look TOO much alike.

Damn....The G8 is the GM I was missing...well, i think they are awesome looking cars, but I have to say the first thing I ever thought when I saw it at the new car show the first time was that it had similar styling to a BMW...didnt I guess that is was a BMW??? I forget, but I think thats what I guessed.

Revival! I thought I'd revive my old thread from '09 since it's new to most active members. This challenge got harder now that the models are nearly 8 years old, but those cars were all new when I made this thread. I should do this again with '16 or '17 models...
