Actually, I got the "is that an MG" for literally the first time just the other day.  Usually it's just "what is that??"  and then I explain it's a Jensen Healey, the red-headed step-child to an Austin Healey and then they pretend to understand and then I tell them about the Lotus engine if it's a guy or the little British woman that first owned her if it's a woman (sexist? probably) and some understand but most don't and just say, "well it's very cute" (if it's a woman) or "cool" (if it's a guy). Or some variation thereof, lol
