About This Quiz

When the first automobile was built back in 1885 by Karl Benz in Mannheim, Germany, he never imagined that almost a century and a half later, that there would be over 100 car companies, two of which just happen to be Chevrolet and Kia with each of them selling at least 3 million vehicles every year.

While Kia vehicles are known for their reliability and affordability, Chevy is known for putting out some of the most durable vehicles and high performance sports cars. Every year, these two companies always manage to land at least one of their vehicles in the top 10 cars of the year, and buyers could immediately see the reasons why.

Were you a car fanatic when you were growing up?  Or are you not into vehicles at all? How much do you pay attention to the cars that you pass every day on the streets? Are you able to differentiate the make of a Chevrolet from the make of a Kia? Well only 1 in 14 people can, and the question is; are you one one them? To find out, take this quiz and when you're done, ask your friends and family to take it to find out who the top scorer will be!
