Do you still get axed (asked) what kinda car is that?
Drove up to a nearby Starbucks the other day and had a guy asked me "is that one of those new hybrids"? 
We are in the third production year of the MZ3 and people still don't know it?
Do you still get axed that same question ? (MZ3 or Protege)

i wish people would pay more attention to the badges and names all over the cars instead of going "whats car is that?" its a problem many honda and chevy owners have in my area. they like putting HUUUUGE [H] or bow-tie stickers on their rear window that block 50% of their view. i guess its to remind them exactly what it is they are driving

Here are all the cars Ive been accused of being. ZX5, ZX3, Si, Matrix, Is300, WRX, Vibe. Or they chase me down (going way out of their way) just to ask me. People dont pay attention and just throw out names hoping and praying their right so they can feel knowledged out cars.

I saw a Suzuki Samurai with VTEC once...at least that's what the side badge said, and no one would lie about a thing like that, would they?!
For as long as I can recall, people have not read car badges. As you have all noted, more often than not the ones who know the least will put forth wild guesses on what you are driving. You wouldn't believe what I have heard about my '81 RX-7. I just politely smile and tell them what it really is. I haven't really gotten too much about my Protege, but then it is a sedan.
