This brings me to the story of a coworker that randomly showed up at my desk because he overheard that I had a BRZ/86. I guess he wants to get one.
He shows up and says " I heard you had a BRZ", to which I replied affirmatively. He then proceeds to tell me that he's buying one, a 2021, small mistake, but I say that there isn't a 2021, but there will be a new model released later this year. He continues, saying that "Yes, I drove the new one, the hatchback one" and proceeds to say how scared the dealer was after the test drive, and how well the car handled. >.> my expression goes, knowing there is no way because one, there isn't a hatchback, and two, the newer model is not in any of these small town dealerships. So then I make the remark that both things are impossible, but he is hellbent on telling me how the test drove the hatchback and that he can't wait to stuff his bike on the back trunk. I respond "Let me stop you right there, there is no way you'll be able to fit a bike (Unless it folds and its small), and there isn't a hatchback, the 86 is a sports coupe, two doors, small trunk". I suggest that he probably drove one of the latest 2020 models and that he should probably wait until the newer ones comes out, but if he wanted to stuff two bikes, is better to buy another car like for example, Veloster N. Or get a bike rack. Nope, this guy is still convinced the car is a hatchback like his Golf GTI. I finally just say "Dude, I own the damn car, and I'm telling you, no bikes, small trunk". He leaves and send me pictures of the trunk of the GR86, circling the rear end saying how the trunk opens from the rear window. and then sends me a picture of the SHOOTING BRAKE concept. I'm just slamming my head against the desk in disbelief saying "Hey guy, this are two completely cars, one of them never made it to production, and no, look at more pictures of the new model and see for yourself that the trunk does not open from the window, you fruit." I didn't say the latter word. Then I proceed to send him a link of this website so he can finally get his head out of the hole and git gud. I don't think he ever did follow the link. I also have to deal with my one upper co-worker who talks all high and mighty about his POS WRX STi. Everyday he wins a random race, with 19psi of boost, and how his third replacement block and turbo is so much better than before.
