When people get confused, I just explain to them how cars are often named after their engine displacement. I point out to them, for example, that a BMW 335i has a 3.5 liter engine. A 540i has a 5.4. A Mercedes E350 has a 3.5, etc. That's when the light bulb goes off and they go away happy, feeling like they learned something.
