Hello all,

I was washing my car today at my complex and the maintenance man started asking me questions about my coupe...he stated he loved the lines of the car blah blah blah, but what happened next took the smile off my face....

as he was backing his truck out he shouts out the window "was is that, a MITSUBISHI?" i was quick to correct him, but disturbed at the thought that other dumb A$$ES on the road are doing th same thing.....

As a disclaimer I recently moved to Cincinnati for work and its very conservative AKA ignorant for the most part

So my question to you all is : Has anyone mistaken your car for another manufacturer and if so what?

Not sure if this thread has been posted but i figured it changes all the time...

G's Up

p.s. i washed and waxed the whip whip MeGuires NXT, and the stuff is awesome...no more swirl marks from the dealer detail job....i highly recommend it...

 

more than one person has asked if my g is a porsche.

 

My aunt thought my G was a porsche also...

 

Someone thought it was a redesign of the Toyota Solara. I felt really insulted. :/

 

A Lexus. I sent a pic of a G to my friend in Europe saying that's the car I wanted (didn't have it back then). Didn't mention model or make.. He responded that he wished me to get my Lexus soon

 

Scion TC

 

one thought mine was a mazda.
my cousin, who only saw the car once or twice, mistakenly approached a solara coupe thinking it was mine

 

So far it hasn't been confused with anything.

One time I started my car in a parking lot and some toothless white trash lady snapped her head around and asked "The fuuck is that kinda car?" I just laughed and drove off.

 

I just got a ticket for parking in a handicap that said AUDI!

 

Same here

 

3 Lexus comments so far. Lexus doesn't make ANYTHING that looks this good IMO.

For the person above who said Porsche: now that's a compliment.

 

one of my old college professors thought it was a Mazerati!!! that made me feel good.

 

Yeah mine's been confused w/ a Lexus all too much. My parents even try to convice themselves that their ES looks like my coupe!!!!!

 

a porsche, lexus and of course, a 350Z

 

Oh yea...the 350Z. "Mostly," older people mistake our cars for somethine else. GOSH...brain dies!
