So, I was driving home about an hour ago. My mom was looking at this vehicle a bit in front of me in the lane to my right...

She goes (in Chinese): "That looks like your car."

It was a dark silver Nissan Murano.

Okay, it's not too bad... but as you can see, I thought it was funny.

In her defense, her eyesight has never been that great.

 

One of my friends thought I drove a prius. We gave him hell. Another once called it a toy-car, but has since retracted his statements.

 

ive had my car mistaken for a ep3 lol

 

Lol. i had it mistaken for a 4door EP3.. wtf.. as well as an EP3 looking like a fit.. thats to funny. i can see similarity but they are noticeable

 

I have definitely gotten the "Is that like some kind of hybrid or something?"

And the ever popular "I thought you were getting a cube-dude thing...." (one of my co-workers thought I was getting an Element or something....

 

paint the calipers and rotor hubs black, black out the badges and install a shark fin antenna on top and even other FIT drivers don't seem to recognize it, i keep getting asked what body kit I installed or if my car is a 2011.

 

My wife got in "my" car last week and said, "Oh you put no-smoking stickers on the dash."

It was a Kia Rondo rental (while my Fit was in the shop).

 

i thought the new matrix was kinda similar to our cars.... ive not mistaken it but just thought the lines were kinda similar to the GE's.

now some folks have asked me about my 'aveo stationwagon'

 

The first time I saw one on the streets, I did a double take because I thought Mercedes-Benz had brought over the A-Class

 

A friend called mine a Fiat.

I think he just didn't get the Fit name when he first heard it.

 

people definitely think or suspect it's a hybrid.

 

You do have the A class there or not? We have them up here. Pricey toys.

And she is the smart one in her family

 

I don't think we have them... I haven't seen them here anyway, and if there's a place for pricey toys, it's the Monterey Peninsula.

Every now and then I spot a car that was never sold here... it almost always has Canada plates. For instance, the Nissan X-Trail and the Toyota Echo Hatchback.

 

I have parked beside the A Class. Some of the styling is nicer and some not. Fit and finish seem better. Likely expensive to maintain as well.

 

And yet, I feel your foot is the smartest appendage you own if it is able to deceive your mind your car is faster by 17hp

 

people think my 09 is a ep3 too. i think the 09 more closely looks like the ep3's more than the first gen's do.

 

benz needs to come up with more original ideas instead of copying from japanese and korean auto manufacturers. lol

 

Sorry but the 17 hp reference has lost me which is easy to do. Maybe the TC?

 

s'ok my comment was a bit vague.

 

The majority of the masses have no automobile enthusiasm whatsoever. You might as well be talking about toasters or stoves. They're mere appliances. That said, what's an EP3?
