Saturn and Mercury

CARS

Think of two things named after these planets that you might drive down the highway.

This clue plays on double meanings—"Saturn" and "Mercury" aren’t just planets but also car brands. The setter uses the names of two automotive companies to misdirect you toward astronomy before revealing the real answer. It’s a classic example of a cryptic clue where the surface meaning hides a simpler, more literal one. Think of car logos instead of the solar system, and the answer clicks into place.
