What other insulting words have you heard about our cars looking like others besides an "Si"?

I namely get the people that miscue my car for a ZX3 but others include the Mazada Protege 5 the Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Matrix my dad has even miscued a WRX wagon for an Si becasue the tails are similar from behind until you note it has fourdoors. I think Honda would have confused the masses if there was a 5 door Ep.

I hear Minivan quite a bit, but I have heard focus and matrix... Funny thing is, nearly every person who signed my yearbook wrote something about my car... They all seem to like it...

"I decided I like your car. A lot actually. In a suped up lawnmower way..."

That was one of the many passages... Everybody else throws in somethin about my "awesome car" :D

Someone called my car a RollerSkate....so i made an AIM nick outta that.

Got the usual "looks like a focus". Someone once said the Matrix thing.

The most unusual thing someone said to me is that it looks like a shuttle craft from star trek......without the nacells of course.......ok yeah...

everyone that I come in contact with says one of two things about my car.
1.wow, that looks nice......what is it?

my answer to that always is......

well, it's a special edition honda. very limited production, and very fast.

2.wow, is that the new six speed?

answer.....

hell yeah it is, lol

I have gotten nothing but compliments on my "egg, focus, matrix" whatever everyone thinks it is.

I've had several nice comments about my "electric car." I've also got this comment a couple of times, "Isn't that the car that gets 52 miles per gallon?" The 17" OZ's do nothing to dissuade it.

Overall most people really like my egg, especially once they get inside.

My past co-worker said by car looked like a frog or a toad, at least the overall shape. WTF?

Someone else said it was chubby and cute......

People round here ask if it's a hybrid, even a cop did once. Figured the rims and exhaust would throw them the other direction but oh well :first:

I've had people call my car cute.

Someone asked me why it's not RHD... :mconfused:

Egg (taffeta white).

Can't complain when you catch people going to the back of the car to see emblem (not there). Once caught a guy doing that at the movie rental place and he saw me and jumped back into his F350.

Lots of haters too.

Nobody has ever said my EP looks like an egg...and for good reason. Tell me how the EP resembles an egg? WTF BBQ...lol

They have said my EP looks like:

1. Ford Focus

2. Toyota Matrix

3. 2 door mini van

*Now those 3 i can understand, but en egg? Nope. :mwink:

The EP was often called a shoe before the Nissan Murano came out...

Didn't read the whole thread but what I did read didn't show this one..

I had someone tell me my car looked like a mini version of a Dodge Magnum. The slanted roof front to back closely resembles the Si.

mr-alternative
06-12-2008, 01:29 PM
someones call it look-like mini-van .....but side view from Audi A3....never.....someone says at night because he saw only the rear and from higher distance...looks like audi A3....

I think if you say it the other way round...then in my region may run ....

An old man once asked me how many miles I get on my EP... he thought it was a Hybrid!

I never get any of these things. i can't even see how it looks like an egg, even in white. Nobody ever talks trash about how my car looks, mostly only tell me that it's bad-ass and that they want to drive it, or that I'm a nOOb and can't drive my car right, which just leads to the "let me show you how" statement. If there's anything that I will say my car looks like, it looks like a 2 door fit or the love child of a fit and the older civic hatchback. But that's OK, if people think it's a Fit, they'll be surprised when I leave them by a couple of car lengths from a pull!
