I just tell them its Nissan's new hybrid car... it gets awesome gas mileage ;)

op - yah, one of the guys at work who has no clue about cars says that. i correct him each time as he's not doing it on purpose. he just has short memory.

like if some crafty person named a yarn brand or series i wouldn't remember. yawn... :icon17:

Same here. Unless of course you're someone who should know about cars and are announcing it incorrectly to a large crowd of people. Then I get a little annoyed.

Just call it a Z and leave it at that.

One of my favorites was when I called Geico to insure her. I told the guy on the phone that it was a 370z. He said, "Do you mean 350z, or did they come out with a new model?" The car had been out for a year already, but I explained it to him, and he was so excited about the changes to the Z that we talked for a good 10 minutes about the differences before we finally discussed actually insuring the car.

I'm more annoyed when people see the car and call it "cute" in a very condescending way. Why is it cute, just because it's a 2 seater and smaller than a stang? I would say it's more "badass" than cute, but maybe that's just me...

the Z reminds me of my bunny i had long time ago. low riding, wide (stable), round shape. i think that's where the cute comes from.

People are stupid. You will never fix that. Getting upset is just spinning your wheels. Looks all furious and crap, but really just a waste of time.

FWIW I don't really care and it barely even bothers me, but it does kind of irk me a little. I find it good looking but not "cute" in a feminine way like people suggest.

most people go "oh its a nissan" people don't know any Zs here.

except for the ricers then they go "WOW NICE BODYKIT ON YOUR 350 MAN"

then I say its a 200SX and their minds blow up.

somebody thought it was a aston martin once

Especially after I tell them it is brand new, and they don't realize that 370 replaced 350 in 09 and is more powerful, lighter and faster and just all around better. It's just kind of annoying and I thought I would share, it also doesn't seem to just be people that doen't really know cars, mechanics even, of course not nissan dealers, but unless you really are into fast sports cars, they may not know the difference. I am sure all of us have had this happen...
Hate it big time.. mechanic friend came over to see my car and he gives it a "I worked on 2 of these this week, one was a 2005 and the other a 2007".
I couldn't let that go and had to correct him.
