How good are you in identifying cars?

    How do you identify a car from a close distance without looking at the brand logo at the back of the car. I mean what are the things you check out for to be able to identify a car?
    I have always found it difficult to identify cars easily, so that is why i want to have ideas from you.

    I'm pretty good with in identifying cars without having to look at the logo. Few car brands here in my country might be the reason :p

    Absolutely terrible, maybe because I have never driven and have little interest in cars, but I doubt I could get even one right.

    I'm quite good, but not as for American brands, as I'm from Europe. I love cars. :)

    Well, its just knowledge about more cars which makes you identify them.
    I am good in identifying cars as well as bikes. :)

    It's not hard. Every car has signature designs like the shape of the grill or slope of the windshield or size and shape of headlight or the hood.

    I think you usually get much better at identifying cars when your actually searching for a new one to buy (which I am)
