What is the most generic-looking car?

...by which I mean, the car with the fewest defining characteristics? The kind of car that's difficult to identify once you remove the badge. A car that might pop up if you search your clipart catalog for "car."

My vote goes to the second-gen Kia Optima. It's like the designers just said, "Make it look like a car," and that was that.

Did the Equuis post make you think of this? Because that's the first car I thought of when I read this.

7th gen civic is another strong contender.

LOL. Yep. I saw the first pic and thought it might be a generic Ford of some type.

Lamborghini Veneno. What a beige-looking machine. I swear I saw like five of them last time I went to Cheesecake Factory.

Last gen Sonata. Blank out the grill and it's just anything.

That's actually the sister car to the Optima, so yep, same deal.

Yup, but with less bulbous headlights. They de-anonymized both with the refreshes though.

I know people will probably hate me for this, but I nominate the Mk.III Supra.

2nd Gen legacy. Is it a Camry or a Subaru?

Tell me when you think SUV, one of these doesn't come to mind.

Take that GMC logo off and it could be anything.

Isn't that the one from the Subaru commercial where they created a generic beige car?

I think that's just a debadged Optima.
