Default Honked at a lot in the xb?

Seems ever since I got the xb I get a lot of honks. Either the parking lot, interstate. I use to get the peace sign when I drove a vw and when parked many asked me about my benz, but no honks and Ive checked the back, I do not see any bumper sticks that ask for people to honk either for any reason.

Do you guys get the same treatment?

The links in that thread don't work anymore, but I believe this is what you were after:

Yeah, I am sure the cops would love for me to add that to my strange looking car. So far I have yet to see another new xb where I live, not to mention a white one.

Yeah, so far I just blow back when people honk me as is. Just seems strange.

Do you ever get the one finger salute when they're honking at you?

cobb, I'm starting to see a pattern here...

upshifting vs. downshifting

scrolling up vs. scrolling down

responding to comments by other posters, and then quoting them AFTER your answer.

do you read magazines from back to front also?

Just chiming in from the Gen 1 side of the fence...I'VE never gotten this reaction. I can't imagine it's the car, unless you painted it fluourescent pink or something.

Maybe you should stop leaving your coffee on the roof of the car. ;)
