About This Quiz

In the battle of auto manufacturers, things aren't as cut and dry as we would think they would be.  You may know that Hyundai is a Korean manufacturer, and you would be correct.  And if we said Chrysler, you may automatically (pardon the pun) think of  U.S.-made vehicles. But you would only be partly right.

Chrysler merged with Fiat (an Italian automobile manufacturer) to create Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Sounds simple enough, right?  Well, yes, until you consider that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is registered in the Netherlands with headquarters in London, U.K.  This was done for tax purposes.

But most of these mergers don't really matter to true car aficionados, who care more for the vehicles than the business behind them. 

And that brings us to this quiz, where Hyundai and Chrysler go head-to-head as we challenge you, by looking at a photo, to identify which of these two manufacturers released the vehicles in the image.

Are you up to the challenge? Well, there's really only one way to find out. Take the quiz now!
