This is gonna sound stupid, but ....

I recently bought a FR-S red AT .... I just love the style (could use more power). Well, I was at a gas station today and this guy asked to look at my Ferrari ....

Ferrari???? I told him it was a scion ... he thought it was a 599 or California ... I thought this guy must be crazy.

I then looked on line and you know ... the styling is similar ... in fact, I would imagine changing the badge, exhaust tips, rear lights, and hood and it could fool a lot of people.
