Can't get an instance of an inherited class

I'm working with Cocos2D and I've made a very simple class that inherits from CCSprite. I have the following class method:

+(id)carWithFile:(NSString *)fileName{
Car *car= (Car*)[CCSprite spriteWithFile:fileName];
car.anchorPoint=ccp(0,0);
    NSLog(@"%@",[car class]);//Here I get CCSprite in the console
return car;
}

But to my surprise, I still get a CCSprite instance when I call this method. Even when I check in the method itself, the class of the newly created object is CCSprite instead of Car. What am I missing?

If it is a subclass from car you can use

[Car spriteWithFile:fileName];
