Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is a wine bottle holding about 1.5 liters made by Dodge be named?

Answer: Magnum

Dodge's first Magnum since the 1970's was the 2005 Magnum, which we hope holds more than 1.5 liters of fuel. Thanks to burnone for correcting this.
2. What would you call a carnivorous mammal of northern Europe and Asia, having soft dark fur created by Mercury?

Answer: Sable

Although sable also means black clothing worn in mourning, it is usually plural. And I'm sure no one wants to think about that while they're driving a car, anyway.
3. What would be a second sign of the zodiac manufactured by Ford?

Answer: Taurus

Even though it may come from the zodiac, you don't have to be born at just the right time to buy this car. It may just mean the Latin taurus, which means bull. Perhaps you can feel that powerful when riding down the road in a Ford Taurus.
4. What would Chevrolet name a fast, lightly armed warship, smaller than a destroyer, often armed for antisubmarine operations?

Answer: Corvette

"America's Favorite Car" as known by some gets its name from a warship used against submarines. While corvettes are obsolete now, Corvettes are more popular than ever, or something like that.
5. What would the employees at Chrysler make if they happened to be involved in a rapid, heated discussion?

Answer: Crossfire

Crossfire also means lines of fire crossing at a single point, which is why www.chrysler.com says the Crossfire is "the intersection of elegance and exhilaration."
6. What would it be called if you tried to be involved in an act of passing something along from one person, group, or station to another all the way to Saturn?

Answer: Relay

A relay could also be a device that responds to a small current or voltage change by activating switches or other devices in an electric circuit, which pretty much explains how the Relay operates.
7. What would Kia name the plural of point at which the condition, degree, or amount of something is the most favorable?

Answer: Optima

Kia named this car in hopes it could live up to its name and perform at its optimum ability.
8. If Volkswagen built a light, four-wheeled open carriage, usually drawn by a pair of horses, what would it be called?

Answer: Phaeton

We can only hope that the Phaeton works a little better than a horse-drawn carriage, but you can't believe the gas mileage!
9. What kind of Aston Martin would you use to defeat or conquer in battle?

Answer: Vanquish

Apparently, with the Vanquish you can defeat any competition you face on the open road. Or if your name happens to be James Bond, you can test drive the one-of-a-kind Vanish, with adaptive camouflage. You know, just in case.
10. If petals of a flower considered as a group or unit and usually of a color other than green were found on top of a Toyota, what would it be named?

Answer: Corolla

Even though the definition of corolla contains the phrase "other than green," it shows a green Corolla on the front page for the Corolla on the Toyota web site.
