Of the nine traditional planets of the solar system (before Pluto was demoted) how many have a name that is also the name of an automobile (past or present and being rather liberal with what makes a match)?

I cheated and just typed in "<insert name of planet here> car". I give you.......the Jowett Jupiter. Classy looking but I can microwave a burrito faster than this car can get to 60mph. :lol:

So far it looks like four planets. But that is not the correct answer.

I think I get what your talking about. The ancient name for the planet Mars was Ares, as in The Dodge Ares. Am I on the right path??
