Not really. It just shows how little they know and gives you a chance to politely point out the differences and make them look stupid in front of anyone else around.

Just don't forget that your car IS a Nissan.

No I wouldn't get mad, I'd just laugh then tell them thanks for the compliment.

Our cars are nothing more than Nissans - Overglorified Altimas.

Haha never heard it put that way, but doesn't bother me at all - after all, that's essentially what it is.

Now if I drove a Benz and someone said I was driving a Chrysler Sebring in a Tuxedo, then I'd be pissed

it is a Nissan in a tuxedo... it is a 4 seater 350z (more of a Nissan in a tuxedo than this one, but i believe so).
.....why are you so upset at the truth? a Lexus is a Toyota in a tuxedo. Since when is owning a Nissan bad?

Depends on what they drive. But comparing a FWD family car to a RWD sports sedan that beat out the BMW 335i isn't quite showing alot of logic

Infiniti = Nissan
Acura = Honda
Lexus = Toyota
Audi = VW
Jaguar = Ford (or did, I think Ford sold them to Tata Motors)
Caddilac = GM
BMW / Mercedes = Yugo

I rest my case.
