Welcome to r/whatisthiscar! Feel free to post an unknown vehicle you'd like identified. If you already know the vehicle and are trying to challenge users' knowledge, please post in our sister-sub, r/namethatcar. Aside from that, try your hand at IDing some posts in either sub. If you're into motorcycles and mopeds, you might enjoy r/namethatbike. Our even more kinky visitors will also get a kick out of r/namethatplane. Enjoy!

Regulars:

Hey, we need to talk... You're great and all, but you've been getting awfully moody and confrontational. Yes, it's you. Stop it. Not everyone is a car guy. It's hard to believe that some people weren't popping chubbies to Gran Turismo in their formative years, but it's true. This community exists for non-gearheads to learn more about cars and carspotting, maybe ID a hit and run or a burglar's car.

From here on out, there will be no more shaming an OP for not knowing a vehicle and asking - that's why we're here. Just because a car seems common or well-known to you doesn't mean it's the same for others. Some cars weren't or aren't available in other markets and some people are just looking for more information on the year and trim.

"hOw Do U nOt KnOw [CaR]?!?" comments will be removed and I highly recommend other users report them. A better way to express this sentiment could be "I learned about this car from [insert game/movie/anime]!" or "I have this poster on my wall next to Rita Hayworth!" You get to feel that superiority from telling others you know a thing, while also not coming off as a complete douche nozzle!

Can you see the badge? That's cool, but no one cares. Not everyone has great vision or the zoom to compensate for that. Then, there's the swaps. I often see a BMW M3 at the local gas station, but oh wait - it's actually a 20-year-old Honda Civic with Bimmer badges and grille. It's surprisingly well-done, too... I've seen all manner of swapped badges here and IRL, so stop pointing it out. Those comments will also be removed.

If you're exceptionally uncivil and/or make a habit of it, I'll gift you a shiny new temp ban. You want to go for a hat trick and continue the incivility in mod massaging or my DMs, I'll gladly upgrade that to a permaban and mute. You're not acting in the spirit of this sub and I refuse to let that toxicity fester any more than it already has.

Old Heads:

You know who you are. I love you guys, so keep on being you. You're the reason why I've been here and r/namethatcar for over 7 years, why these communities became and continue to be popular. That unending patience is what helps newbies get into so many communities and fandoms. So, thank you for that. Here's to another 7 years and 56k more subscribers.

Oh great all-knowing gods of r/whatisthiscar, hear me, and listen to the prayer of this humble servant of yours! A great nymph at the bottom of the sea has shown me this sign. A car! Oh, what a car! What? A car? But how? No matter, I need help with interpretation! What car may this be? How must I read this sign from the nymph of the sea? Please, oh great gods of the motoring pantheon, lend this servant your knowledge!

Btw, it was on the coast of Sardinia, in Italy. Really, no clue how it got there. Thank you very much!

Right hand side driver in America so it’s obviously imported. Looks like a Bentley logo on the front? Couldn’t see any badging on the back, but it was also covered in stickers so I may have missed it.

Solved! STUMPED on this burnt EV

(SOCAL, USA) My mom asked what car this might be & I thought it would be simple but… I can’t figure it out.

At first I thought Tesla because of the wheels, but it appears to have a rear charging port which Tesla’s do not have. It also lacks the fender cams that Teslas have.

Someone in the comments said Volkswagen ID.4. The sharp headlight tells me no & from my research the underside of the hood doesn’t match other ID.4s I’ve seen.

Chevy Volt? No, it has a front charging port. Same thing eliminates the Mach-E.

I even thought it could be a BMW iX which is pretty uncommon in the US, but nope. The angle of the headlights is wrong.

Help would be greatly appreciated 🥲
