What is it that makes people mixing up the GT86 with a Supra

I really wonder how you can do this...
I've been on a gas station today, filling up my GT86, when someone walked by and saying to me "hey, nice supra you've got there".
I've just smiled and said thanks.

To make this even more confuse, when I was waxing my Supra (I mean really supra, not my GT86 supra;-) some weeks ago in my garage, a neighbor passed by, stopped and said "Ah, I love that car. Specially since the movie back to the future"
Again, I smiled and said thanks...

So, my GT86 is a Supra, and my Supra is a DeLorean... nice.

Non-car people can't tell the difference between cars. They all look the same to them.

to be honest, i bought the frs because of the supra. I totally missed out on the supra (A: because i didnt have any money when it was out B: because i was a little kid) I know all the press kits say that the frs is a accumulation of the 2000gt the ae86 and something else but i do feel the supra inside this car (call me crazy lol) anyways, the frs is a big step back in the right direction for toyota because even with the fantasticly economical line up these days, trashing their sports line up was a horrible idea.

@Killerbee that's hilarious! I too would think it's the badass aero package that stands out in their minds. Either way, the DMC Supra is classic!

Therefore the GT86 is a time machine.

A homeless man came up to my passenger side window and asked me if this was the new Aston Martin...

At the time I had a friend in the passenger seat too... I was smiling ear to ear.

I had this happen to me when I took it in for my CEL service. Some guy in the service lobby asked if the white ferrari in the service bay was mine, this was at a toyota dealership.
