True!

A similar “problem” exists with the new ‘24 Santa Fe and its styling resemblances to the Rover brand. My ‘24 Santa Fe Limited (ICE & HTRAC) is Shimmering Silver with black interior.

I’ve gotten people asking me if my car is a Bentley, and I have the 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan.

I’ve gotten people asking me if my car is a Bentley, and I have the 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan.

One person could not figure out what mine was, another asked me if it was a Chrysler 300.
I'm often mistaken for Tom Sellick so it evens out.

One of the nurses that was coming to the house to take care of my dad months ago thought that it was a Bently.

Yes, I've had a few think mine was a Bentley. I've even had a couple people ask what the hell is a Genesis.
