When I parked at work this morning there just happened to be one of the sales guys driving a new sonata rental and I was the one that noticed and was thinking....oh please no!! I already get the TC thing from EVERYONE here at work. (I work at Toyota/Scion dealership) So I was hoping they didn't notice the two cars. I just backed in next to it.

They call my S2000 a Miata. I HATE that.

They don't share the same platform... RWD vs. FWD.

Methinks some of these comparisons are done to insult! Going up to the Lexus and saying, "I like your Toyota!"

To which I might reply, " thanks, its much better than..."
