When I saw the first one in my area this summer, I told some strangers, "Hey look, a 2010 Camaro just drove in" and they turn to me and say "Nahhhhhhhhh, I think that's a new Mustang".

I wonder if people did this back in the day with the original pony cars.

Chances are good that I’d say something equally stupid to a Challenger owner. Heck, the FWD Camaro thread had me confused until fbodfather stepped in.

Just tell them this; "No, it looks like MY car.......what does your car look like?"

One other thing, as honk`n big as those bow ties are, you would think they would at least know who the manufacture was.

Get a stack of business cards from a local eye doctor. Whenever someone makes a stupid remark like that, don't say anything, just hand them a card.

I really do think it's a matter of people just not knowing cars like others have said.
Most of my friends wouldn't know one car from another, other than what they drive.

Everyone always says that mine looks like a mustang. I don't see it. Challenger I can see. But not a mustang.
