Subject: Best known car brands?

A question for the women on the forum.

What are the 20 or so best-known car brands?

Or, to put the question another way. If I asked you to list car brands, what would be the first 20 or so you think of?

I’m not asking the men, because a man is just as likely to start his list with “Koenigsegg”.

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty sexist comment, but I won’t say anything.

To be fair, I wouldn’t be able to name 20 shoe brands either.

Sorry, I didn’t explain properly, which if any of those should also be considered “best known” car brands?

I will avoid Buick, Trans Am, HSV (pity about that, I like HSV), FPV, Testa, Bedford, Man, Buick, Oldsmobile, Packard, Maclaren, Goggomibil and others that haven’t been mentioned yet. My reason for asking is that I’m making up a pub quiz for old women who don’t drink

Today I saw a … what was it … parked in my street … goes for a walk …

… Tuscani

- not on Wikipedia’s list of Automobile manufacturers, but it exists and has its own logo. Oh wait, it’s a Hyundai, but then why does it have a different ‘T-shaped’ logo? The Tiburon has the same logo.

I saw one of these today. I thought it was a clown car but a little old lady was driving it. It was also blue.
