". Unfortunately, the stook seems to be most easily recognized by 16-year old boys. "
So far, that's the only people that have stopped and asked me about the car. Even some of my friends can't seem to remember it's a Honda!

The opinions that people have about other people/objects tend to be the ones in which their initial opinions were incorrect. The bigger disparity, the better (or worse) impression it will make on someone's mind. So let them think it's "just a honda." When they see it they'll understand. The Miata has a bit of recognition, and yet if you told people you owned a 'Mazda,' people might think of something else. The name recognition will come in time.

I could care less about other peoples opinion or lack of recognition for this car. I bought it for ME (and my wife) but mainly for me because I know it is one of the most exciting, technologically advanced sports cars on the planet. I let people look all they want and if they have a question I answer politely but I certainly dont lose any sleep over anyone not knowing what I know about this car.
