I've had people tell me it looks like a DeLorean on more than one occasion. I can understand the confusion with the older MX-6/Ford Probe since both bodystyles were penned by Italdesign-Giugiaro.
Also, check this out. Talk about a ripoff design!

when i went to a UHaul dealer to try and rent a trailer to haul my SVX 5 hours to get repaired, the guy at the counter said "What are you hauling? Is it that PROBE out there" as he looked into the parking lot. I nearly jumped over the counter and choked him. Another lady once thought it was a Saturn with custom windows.

Porsche Ferrari Lambo "new" Delorean...? Probe NSX Mustang, I was like WTF? some guy asked if it was a Vector, I said yes. 240sx... dont ask But it was nice once when I was down town at the huge meet, I was at Wendy's with my buddy(frostys kick ass) and a woman as I was getting into my car said to her kid "I wish they still made cars like that, I always loved the SVX." I was like, SWING! MILF that knows her cars!

they can't figure it out
On the freeway some young person will pull up on the left and match my speed for a mile or more.. you know they are trying to decide what it is, usually they speed away, I'm sure they still don't know.

Theres a cadre of people who know exactly what my car is and flock around when i go out to the parking lot. Then there are chicks who actually say: "did you know your thunderbird has, like, really weird windows..?"
I tell anyone who doesn't know its an Al-See-Oh-Nay SVX

I've gotten 240sx, Ferrari, and "What the hell is that?" Mad people have told me 240sx, probably because I owned 11 of them before I got this. I'm always on the verge of selling/trading this car for another one, but right before I close the deal, I stop answering e-mails, lol.

I've been flagged to pull over on a few occassions by people who just want to know what the hell kind of car it is, and want to know more about it. I get talked to about it in grocery store and mall parking lots, and pretty much every time I gas up. I have got Probe, Eclipse, Talon, and Saturn... So often, people ask if the windows "came like that" or "Where did you get those custom windows?" or people who just want me to roll down the window to see how it works. I love my cars.

I chortled once when someone asked me if the top window rolled down.
I asked them "where would it go?" They said "I dunno". I've been asked under differing circumstances what it was, usually because people forget after I tell them. They see 3000GT or a Talon and say, "hey isn't that what you drive?" Most people around here know about the car. A few people have intercepted me to comment on it, or talk and look about it. I haven't run into anyone pretending to know about it. The most frusterating moment for me was my first run at the track. I wrote SVX on my entry slip but when I lined up the guy called it a 92 WRX.

I have had people at the drive up window ask - "how did your windows get that way?" I ask - what way? and drive off.
