In all seriousness, I'm only a car dabler so I spent a half hour giving these questions a good think and even googling some basics on the subject if it was totally out of my wheelhouse. These are good questions!

Perfect. Even people who pay way too much attention to cars are in the same place as you. These questions are tough, and it's not about getting the correct answer so much as it getting the most popular answer.


Miata is always the answer.




Edit: lol I checked my email and yes I did have Miata as one of my answers.

That's what makes the game great.
Answer with what you genuinely think the answer would be.
Chase where you think the flock is for sheepiness.
Go for deliberately wolfy answers.
Let your toddler/cat slap the keyboard at random.

It's all a valid way to play.

I was going to go with that one but I went with it for a different Italian car question a year or two ago and only got like a point or two. I changed my answer to the non-AI default this year and I’m gonna be a corncob if everyone goes with what I think you mean instead.

See the answer is obvious there if you think about the worst car that happens to be Italian, but the car that is worst at being the things we want in an Italian car is very much a different car imo and the latter is a much more interesting way to think about that question and oh god I'm gonna be dead midpack again aren't I

Well given my most important thing I want with an Italian car is to be nowhere near it, that doesnt narrow the answer down at all.

So I just went with what quality makes Italian cars so bad the most. And TBH I have a suspicion that quality wont be a wolf answer.

What if the car's chassis was shipped to Italy, the Italians put the body on the car and finished it?

Same energy on these.

Tesla - Can't say I agree, as terrible as they are they did a lot to push EV's as the 'fast and fun future' rather than the bubbly eco-friendly nature they previously were marketed with. The main problem with Tesla seems to be Musk.
