So far only one comment, and unfortunately, it came from a good friend (in his 60s) who is not into cars at all.

Friend: it was hard finding parking space. Where did you park your car?
Joe: It's the white car...just next to the yellow vw beetle.
Friend: you mean the Camry?
Joe: its a Lexus
Friend: they look similar

Yeah, I got the "cute" comment from a coworker. He drives a Mustang GT. We raced getting onto the highway after work a few days later. He lost. He no longer calls it cute.

From the girl I'm dating the first date we went on : " your car is nice, but sounds like one of those loud Hondas" also my friends always complain about the back seat!... Let's just say its pretty cozy when you have a girl back there

Vendor at work- Is that your IS?
Me- Yes
Vendor- It looks fast! Is it fast?!
Me- No

Me- I knew that was you behind me on the freeway
Cute Coworker- Yeah, sorry for tailgating you, the person behind me was riding my ***
Me- It's alright, you weren't even tailgating me
Cute Coworker- If I had your car, I would've left them in the dust
Me- Uh, probably not, my car is slow as hell, I think your Civic is faster than my car
Cute Coworker-What? Don't you have an IS350?
Me- No , it's only an IS250
