Really....when your biggest concern is that your 2006 Infiniti is embarrassing you, you maybe need to spend some time with malaria victims in Botswana.
Fortunately I don't have that problem.
I had friend a few years ago with a newish Civic that he parked in a large multi-story car park. When he returned to what he thought was his car and unlocked the door (still don't know how that happened) got in but wasn't able to start the car. It took him quite a few minutes before it finally dawned on him that it wasn't his Civic. He was on the wrong floor.
There are solutions to this very serious problem (HaHa), some are more expensive than others.
-Go upmarket. The more expensive the car the less likely soccer moms will have one.
-Choose a model that simply doesn't sell very well or didn't sell very well and was discontinued which is even better.
-If you can stand it choose the least popular colour available.
This way you'll atleast be able to find your car in a parking lot of similar clones although you may have trouble getting a good value for it at trade-in time.
