What you are hearing......is some sloppy pronunciation - something that is becoming very prevalent these days. The difference in the two words is that cards should have a pronounced letter D whereas cars does not. Such words as breakfast, Baldwin (as in piano), etc.Are commonly pronounced leaving out the consonant (k and d in these cases).

Perhaps I am especially sensitive since I learned to read and speak with phonetics which asks you to sound out all the letters (however, I will admit, US English has a way of making rules about letters in words that give you a migraine and phonetics cant always help).

You need a trip! To the great south, in Texas there would be no way to mistake one for the other. Cards is a two sillable word... and cars is only one with the emphesis on the first letter.In Alabama & Georgia its a little more genteel, They can actually make cards into three syllables.

1 seems to me like either you or the people you talk to are not enunciating properly. When I say "cards" aloud, I can hear the "d", whereas when I say "cars" I don't hear the "d" and it seems to sound like my throat is more open.
