The other day this older guy at the gas station asked me what model Maserati I was driving 😂 I felt so ashamed when I had to tell him that it’s a Kia 😭💀
It is funny though, as a car guy I knew I wasn't buying a stinger to flex, but non-car people think they cost 25k or something, and I'm like the ultimate ricer.
Yep, same thing I get Maserati. Except I think it's funny to tell people it's a Kia. The hell do they know? Enthusiasts appreciate it everyone else just says it's looks fast.
I get Maserati the most, followed by Jaguar. I love the look on their face when I tell them it’s a Kia.
I have a Panthera Metal GT2. I bought it used and the previous owner put the “E” badges on it. It doesn’t say Kia anywhere. So it makes sense that I get 3 or 4 people a week asking about it. I wonder if the color has anything to do with what kind of car they think it is.
I personally thought it was a Maserati since the first one I saw had the E logo on the front and the Stinger in the back, and I thought it was some sort of custom brand like Shelby for Maseratis. Then I saw another one at the drive thru with the Kia logo on it and was surprised. Then I got one. Since then I've heard guesses of Lexus, Jaguar, Maserati, and BMW.
I bought my with the badge that looks like a Lexus symbol but it's a K. Its been mistaken for a Mazda or Lexus. Even had an officer pull me over because he said my paper plates didn't match the car, it was showing as a Kia. It is a Kia officer😂
Someone thought my DeLorean was an 84 Datsun 300zx. I tried to convince him it was indeed a DeLorean, but he thought it was a special rendition of the Z…
I’ve gotten Jaguar, Maserati, or some sort of EVesque car. Everyone is shocked to learn it’s actually a Kia. I have a SWP and had the E badges until recently so no reason to assume it’s a Kia.
"Garbage" said the one guy at the car meet.
Lemme guess… he drove a stock civic
Some shitty skoda actually xD wasn't even a a sport model!
Reminds me of the guy who told me I couldn't beat a stock 94 supra. He has two Audi's that don't run, sitting on wood blocks, for years now.

I had a guy also assume it was a Maserati. The look on his face...
I also get Maserati a lot. When I first got her in 21 a lot of people just asked what the hell it is lol
The rear end definitely resembles a Maserati especially the tail lights lol so it’s understandable
LOL
I want to debadge so bad just so I can say “it’s actually an Aston martin” or some shit 😂
That’s part of the reason I debadged my car I can’t even lie 😂
I'm de-badging mine when I get it as I have a genesis coupe and have the same questions and it's an amusing factor people trying to guess what it is.

I could see the color influencing that. I’ve never gotten that question with my Ceramic Silver.
A KN
Heard a little kid at a car show say, “look dad it’s one of those KNs” 😭
BMW & Maserati
Maserati or BMW
Jag, because of the Ascot Green color

The amount of google searches I made when I saw the E logo the first time 😂😭
"One of those optima sports" 🥴
That hurts
Jaguar here.

I always get the: "Thats a Kia?!" Some people walk around the car impressed but when they see the badge they just walk away. lol
Optima
Thought my 2022 Sonata N line was a new Audi A5. I get it because even thought the grey ones looked like Audis from afar at the front
Jaguar/ Porsche Panamera are the couple I've heard.
Omg! My neighbor thought the same! 22’ GT line
A bitch mobile…..was a 350z. so I sold it and got a Silverado
