I know all of you people reading Carscoops are gearheads (or petrolheads, if you prefer), but would you be able to recognize in complete darkness the car you are in? I for one, know that wouldn’t be an easy task. Smart thought it would be a good idea to try this experiment and guided volunteers into a dark box where a ForTwo was awaiting them.
Their reactions were filmed using infrared cameras, so you can hear people describing the car as spacious, as well as labeling it as an SUV, sports car, limousine – pretty much any category. As for the brand of the car, it suffices to say that none of the volunteers got it right, with one even mistaking it for a…Lamborghini.
Scroll down to watch the experiment and see the people’s reactions when the lights turned on.
