.....Thunderbird the other day. Of course I quickly corrected him. Then I got to thinking about it and yeah the monte carlo and thunderbird have been similar over the years. Of course the monte was always sexier. So now i wondering what have people mistaken your car for?

I've never heard the 6th gens get mistaken for anything. But 5th gens get mistaken for Luminas. 3rd and 4th gens for olds cutlass.

Just when the '04 gtos came out, and before I got mine. A Middleaged man pulled up next to me with his wife, and said Nice car, is that the one with the Corvette engine in it? I said no, I think your mistaken the car for a GTO, those have the Corvette engine in it, he said Oh still a nice looking car.

That was the closest my car was ever mistaken for anything else but...I do catch a lot of people looking down at the side script and reading it though.

Had one old timer ask if it was "one of those new cameros"

Also had one person ask if it was a chevy concept car

I've only had mine mistaken for an Impala once.

Other times, people don't even try to guess and they just ask what it is...

I used to get, "I didn't know they made two-door Impalas" all the time, BEFORE I put the Impala bumper on... It used to drive me nuts! Now, no one says it. WTF?
