What have people thought your FRS/BRZ was?
 
Hey all,

I thought it would be pretty funny to see what some people have mistaken your cars for.

Also, what people have said about your car they have gotten wrong.

Celica

Demandred7 10-12-2013 01:23 AM

Gas meter guy thought it was the new Supra.

humfrz 10-12-2013 01:40 AM

Genesis Coupe.......and that's not ALL that bad ....:iono:

Some folks think it costs around $50,000 ..... and I'll take that ..... ;)

Jolaessss 10-12-2013 01:40 AM

Lol someone thought mine was a BRZ

Haha jk but someone's mistaken my 86 for a Porsche

T_Scott 10-12-2013 01:46 AM

I've had two people in my town ask me if it was a Tiburon :thumbdown:. Only one has asked if it was the new Genesis.

LeeMaster 10-12-2013 01:51 AM

A friend girl of mine thought my car was an FRS, I told her my car was a BRZ, she thinks im lieing because there's no such thing. The next day she came back and said she wants a BRZ. lol its one of those wtheck moment

thill 10-12-2013 02:02 AM

Neighbor thought it was a Porsche.

Kelbyat07 10-12-2013 02:04 AM

A Hyundai dealer thought it was a Maserati.. Hell yeah.

ericmpena 10-12-2013 02:10 AM

Discount Tire dude thought it was a new Lexus. :)

Porsche 10-12-2013 03:55 AM

A KID'S CAR! :eyebulge:


The guy demanded to know what I was doing driving it. (I'm old, with gray hair. ;) )

I told him. He didn't believe me, not even after much discussion, concluding with, "No, really… This is your son's car, and you just drove it up to the race this weekend, right?"

boxer 2.5 10-12-2013 04:10 AM

This is particularly funny to me since my DD is a Tiburon. I hope I get this one day, just so I can say, "no, but my other car is."

eklectic8 10-12-2013 04:12 AM

My first day on the new job, a new co-worker said I thought you were driving some kind of Ferrari...I laughed and he said "No..I'm serious.."

Eazid 10-12-2013 04:13 AM

I second the $50,000 comment. I get so many looks and people complimenting the car. The only person that asked how much I paid for my BRZ thought it was in that range. Lol

suaveflooder 10-12-2013 04:17 AM

I was asked if it was a new Audi yesterday. I'll take it. :party0030:

Reminds me of this: My neighbor a few houses down had some motorcycle buddies gathered in his drive. One of them looked over at our drive and saw our Miata, and he asked my neighbor, "Is that an S2000?"

My neighbor replied, "No, that's a Miata. The S2000 is inside the garage." :eyebulge:

And it was. Still is... :)

Anthony 10-12-2013 04:45 AM

Haha! Perfect.

Haha that would be great!

wlwarfield 10-12-2013 06:40 PM

One of my coworkers said my BRZ looks like a "supercar". Another calls it my "concept car." I guess I'll take either one. All I know is people are always stating wondering what kinda car it is when I'm driving.

R.S-HawK 10-12-2013 07:00 PM

Most people I've talked to don't try to take a guess, they just ask.

When I tell them it's a Toyobaru, then it becomes a different story.

DCStorm 10-12-2013 10:12 PM

The new Celica

xbiker 10-12-2013 10:23 PM

Scion FRS

Pete156 10-12-2013 10:42 PM

"Hmmmm........Subaru......................must be four wheel drive"






Ah, yeah.

trigger happy 10-12-2013 11:22 PM

Took mine to a local meet tonight, generally its a melting pot of just about every kind of car. I cant tell you how many old people were confused by the scion logo, Toyota/subaru under the hood and boxer motor just blew their mind.

flameSniper 10-13-2013 12:40 AM

Even though my car is still Scion badged, people still ask "What is it?" and I get double takes from Porsche drivers quite often. My OEM looking mods probably adds to the confusion. :)

batmobilefrs 10-13-2013 01:23 AM

I was stopped at a security checkpoint on my navy base and the rent-a-cop asked if it was one of those 100k nissan things. GTR? I'll take it. Most of the time people just ask what it is.

mush 10-13-2013 03:42 AM

they just ask
im surprised that theres people that still dont know what this car is/never seen one, its been out for over a year already!
this car gets way more attention than my last car that was almost 60k:iono:

Kostamojen 10-13-2013 03:54 AM

Celica, Tiburon, new Z car, and a Ferrari.

I had a guy and his son in a 911 convertible today staring at my car wondering what it was... I'm curious what they thought since they were looking more at my car than I looked at his $100+ Porsche LOL!

Ninjin 10-13-2013 04:14 AM

I was asked today if it was a Tesla.

No really, and by a guy manning the gate at a local track. I was kinda dumbfounded.

Sent from my GS4.

paintermichael 10-14-2013 01:23 AM

Somebody thought mine was an rx-8... smh...

kajun 10-14-2013 01:53 AM

At night from a distance following, the tail lights could pass for a Ferrari 458, from what I've had more than once. The guy who pulled up at the lights next to me was disappointed to see closer up that it wasn't the 458, but still liked the look.

Anthony 10-14-2013 01:57 AM

Well, at least he was disappointed about it not being a 458. I've seen several people on the Lotus forums say people have been disappointed their Elise/Exige wasn't a corvette.

Tien 10-14-2013 03:56 AM

I have customer come in my shop the other day and she found out that I got rid off my 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa for a sports car. She told me that it is a nice looking car and told me it kinda looked like a Mitsubishi eclipse that is in production now. I'm thinking bitch this the legendary reborn Toyota e86 dammit. Lol.

Enraged21 10-25-2013 08:55 AM

"Is that the new 370z?"

"I thought that was a new lexus."

"That genesis coupe is sweet bro!"

"It looks like a baby ferrari."

"WHAT?! THAT'S A SCION?!"


Lolol. I had a guy in the new carrera 911 breaking his neck while looking at it. I was breaking my neck looking at his car. :)

Enraged21 10-25-2013 08:55 AM

It's crazy how much attention we get, even if we are still bone stock.
