Default Is this that new electic car?

Question asked while parked at 7-11 with the top down.

My reply: No, it's a roadster.

His reply: I thought it was electric because it has only 2 seats.

Anybody else have their car confused with the Insight?

electic?

I know my car is rather electrifying, and some have said its eclectic...

no, never been confused with its sister car the Insight (yes also built at Tochigi) or the older EV. I wish I got that kind of mileage ablout now though...

Don't think so, but then again not all of us are fortunate enough to be in Marina Del Rey.

And made in the same production plant, though it seems that the NSX is mentioned here more often for that honor.

Look at it this way...the Insight sits at the other end of the spectrum. Honda makes two of the most efficient autos in the world. One with the most HP / liter and the other with the highest gas mileage. Hmmmm...those Honda guys are pretty good at this stuff.

The closest I came to such a situation was when I was asked if I was driving the new del Sol Convertible.
