I really, really used to hate when people talked of their 'Jeep' when referring to their FJ40 'cruiser, Series III or G60 Patrol way back when I drove Jeeps

It is a big flag that says "I have no idea about cars!"
Just like a 'Hoover' is any vac and an esky is any cool box.
Breathe and educate them nicely

You should see the reaction I get when I compliment toyota drivers on their "cool looking Land Rover".

Imagine bicarb and vinegar type reaction. Foam and all!

I've never had that with my Defender (110) but have certainly heard it with my 2a ...

[Chops]

I get it from my sister who lived in USA for 12 years

After her return some 5/6 years ago, she still can't get it right, especially now we've got the Defender.

But what you could say in return when asked the question is ,, "No, but I have a black Defender parked around here somewhere". sounding quizzically, whilst aimlessly looking around.

Just nod and smile. My workmates hit me with it from time to time to get a reaction. Don't react and they soon tire. You may just be bumping into my mates. Or others like them. I'm tipping they're not always ignorant of the difference.

never had anybody refer to my car as a jeep....

Awesome! One to set in the memory banks for later use...

I have had my SIIa referred to as a Jeep, a Land Cruiser and a truck. I also own a Blitz truck and Jeep, but they have only ever seen the SIIa. They look confused when they ask how is the truck going, meaning the Land Rover, and I tell them about the Blitz.
