Anonymous User asked: What is the most car-shaped car, in your opinion? Like, if you told anyone, regardless of who they are, to forget about brands or specific types of vehicle for a moment and picture a car in their heads, what would that car look like?
The 9th generation (2000–2006) Toyota Corolla. I mean, just look at it
I could photoshop a Honda badge on there and you probably wouldn't be able to tell. Hell, maybe I did. Or maybe I'm doing a triple fake-out and that's actually a Kia Spectra I photoshopped a Toyota badge onto but I'm telling you it's a Civic.
I didn't do all that, that's way too much effort. But I could have.
I suspect this question has a lot more to do with when you grew up and your mind first started to ossify than any fundamental truth about what the platonic ideal of "car shape" actually is. The "car" is the thing that I saw on the roads when I was a child, when I was first learning about the world and all the things that were in it. I wonder if today's kids, twenty years from now, will think on this question, too, and picture an F-150.
