I live in a suburb of Washington DC. Lots of people have Mercedes... but my xB is not one of them.

Yet... I was at Lowes in Kentlands and there was a family that got out of their Range Rover and started staring at my car. They kept saying, "Wow, that must be the new Mercedes SUV... those things are so expensive."

Mercedes is now outsourcing their windows to Toyota. That's why it says Toyota at the bottom of my windows.

 

HAHAAHA, that's some funny ____ dude. But yeah, driving these cool cars, we seem to get that from time to time.

 

I've been asked if it was a benz before, they thought it was the G-wagon. This girl in town keeps getting told that there's another tC in town...it's a Benz too, the 2 door hatch that's under $30k, they do sorta look alike from the side and back...I mean, if you're not a Scion fanatic.

G class!

 

OH NO!, ur xb's are being mistaken for other cars? how awful, looks like ur uniqness ____ went right out the window. too bad ive been sayin that for a while but no one wanted to listen. not an xb diss, just an opinion.

 

you need to get laid dude... get rid of some of that animosity

 

someone is having a bad day

 

I was behind some lady at a stop sign the other day. she got out of her car came over to me and asked how i like my honda element. I told her it was worthless and i regret buying it.

 

It's not the length of the wand, but the magic in the stick.

As many compliments as you get, there will always be someone that hates it... it just comes with owning such a radically different car.

This old woman came up to me while I was waxing it last Sunday and she said "Oh, that's YOUR funny little car. It's so ugly compared to your old car, why did you get rid of it for that piece of crap? It's so... ugly."

Anyhow, I told her that I wanted something practical and more roomy... and this car had everything that I wanted. Then she proceeded to compare my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse to her old rusty 1990 Chevy Cavalier. "Oh, I loved your old car. It was so beautiful. Those 2 door cars are so sporty and cute. I wish people didn't vandalize my car... I loved that thing."

This is coming from a woman who drives a periwinkle colored Kia Rio. Maybe they vandalized her car because she was a... @#$%!.

Anyways, I parked my Eclipse in front of the house today so that she'd remember that I own both.

 

should have said its a smaller G class :D

 

Did everybody miss this line? HAHAHA, that was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

that's so brutal, wish I had thought of it first.

btw- I hated it when the wife and I got our xb and people would always say they saw the xb's everywhere and got sick of looking at them. Hell, we were lucky to see one a week
(we responded that it was odd that people saw the xb everywhere when az dealers just started to get them on the lots two months prior.)

 

I laughed all the way to the bottom of the post! That's some good Honda SMACK!!! :D

 

 

A cop that stopped me recently said he thought I was driving a Mercedes. He was shocked when I told him how little I paid for it.

 

two things, first I plan on removing the xB on the back and adding a H3

second, can't we all just get along....heck we ALL need to get laid, ah. excuse me I will be back in a few minutes

 

Don't do it...Element owners do that. I used to hang on an Element forum a few years ago when I was considering one.

Might be tired of tC owners getting picked on!

 

Eh, I would never buy a car just because it was unique... a Skyline GT-R would be pretty unique on U.S. shores, but owning one would be a nightmare. Anyhow, most people don't know anything about cars, so why would they know anything about yours?

My friend bought a Jaguar S-Type 4.0 last year and he didn't know whether it was FWD or RWD, how much power it had, what kind of engine was in it or if it was a manual transmission or not. I even had to explain to him that even though there was a shifter that said "PRND", it wasn't a manual. Manual transmissions have 3 pedals. All he knew was that it had leather, automatic climate control, and it was the most expensive, so it had to be the best.

I just made that post because it's funny when people think that you're driving a G-class. Maybe I will put on Mercedes Emblems and some custom AMG wheels.

 

One of the many reasons I bought my xA because you don't see many on the road. . . I thought about a Corolla or Matrix, but for me they are too generic.
