For this week's Thursday Twister, I'm not going to ask you to identify cars that had a particular feature or favorite such-in-such, instead I am asking you to come up with future Twister quiz ideas. How about that for a twist?

Good timing, as I had a great idea I wanted to suggest: Car editions with tie-ins to things that are not automotive related. It could just be fashion editions like the Levi's Jeep you ran recently, or possibly other odd branded tie-ins as well.
ReplyDeleteIdentify the concept car with the production car.
ReplyDeletenice one
DeleteI was going to suggest concepts versions of production cars that never hit showrooms or were available in limited quantities, excluding homologations (a.k.a. AMC diesel eagle)

Delete"Vehicles that killed companies"? or "most recalls and TSBs in a....."
ReplyDeleteVehicles that killed companies, or executives that killed companies? Or both?
DeleteHow about car companies that make other things besides cars?
ReplyDeleteVirtually every single car company makes things besides cars...it would be more of a trivia sessions.
DeleteE.g. Subaru makes generators, Toyota makes forklifts, etc...
Either: a) Cars sold under one name in the US where the exact same platform is sold elsewhere under a different name or brand e.g. Honda Fit/Jazz, Nissan Primera/Infiniti G20.
ReplyDeleteOr: b) Cars sold under the same name in the US and elsewhere but the underlying car is a different platform e.g. the four different Accords sold around the world.

DeleteDart, Torino, Omni, Intrepid, Dakota, ....(wow, thats alot of Dodge)... Aztek, K-car, Ridgeline,
or to make it a little harder, the last 2 letters:
Deleteomni > nitro > roadmaster (the answer is always roadmaster ;) > ercoupe (wait, that's a plane) > pe... pe... hmmm
Generations of cars discontinued/advanced in the states that are still in production elsewhere
ReplyDeleteFor once I got here early enough to have the right answer. A 2015 Buick Regal(and every car that looks like it).
ReplyDeleteGiven that every single car looks 98.5% like all other cars (Idea for new Velocity show - drive freeways and have contestant name the mid-size sedan only from the rear). Can't be done.
This picture falls into the "all of the above" answer category.
