what do you all consider to be a "cool" car. eg. something with a good image, something that people will look at and like, and say "nice car!"

for me it has to be cars like:

Evos, Skylines, Scoobys, 350Zs, anything jap with good power and tuneability (sp?). 200SXs all them!

I can't say I find any Jap cars to be "cool" - almost the opposite for me actually :o Personally I think things like classic British sport cars are cool. And things like Ford Mustangs.
 
to me cool cars aren't to popualr. So that would discount the skyline and the 200sx. The fairlady would be on the list, along with american muscle, gto, fto..
 
yeah I understand not many people like the jap cars, but you saying british sports cars, I can agree with. The Lotus range, Nobles etc. great looking cars, and great cars! :D
 
I'd also hazard a guess that some cars wouldn't be classed as cool if it wasn't for a film / tv series.

e.g. would the DB5 be as "cool" as its regarded now if it hadn't have been in a James Bond film?
 
sorry for hijack but just had a really cool idea :) we should have our own ocuk cool wall (like on top gear) whereby people vote on coolness out of ten and the cars go into repsective categories, that would be sweet, dont know how it could be acheived tho :confused:
 
imo american muscle is not cool at all...except for newer corvettes and stuff. Classic muscle is ugly.

I think a cool car is something like an s2000, Lotus Elise, any supercar of course....

but primarily I like small and nimble.
 
Jap cars just aren't cool at all!

Aston's are cool, a lot of the current Ferrari's aren't. I think old Golf's are cool, but i can see a lot of people thinking i'm odd with that one ;)
 
Hi there

Well I have a Saleen Mustang and everywhere I go people will stop and chat. People even start chatting to me when commuting in traffic, questions normally along the lines of what is it or is it a Mustang? Then questions such as whats the engine and can you give it a rev for us. :D

For me when it comes to look/image I like American Muscle cars the most. So things like Mustangs, Chargers, Camaro's and obviously whats looking to be my next car the Dodge Challenger.
I also really like the new Corvettes but I don't really view them as a Muscle car as such but more a sports/supercar.

When the Dodge Challenger hits the UK I will be taking a test drive if I like it then I shall buy it. However if its a real bad drive as it does weigh 1800kg compared to the Mustangs 1550kg then I will go for a new Corvette C6 and maybe even a Z06 model as these all have 410-520BHP and only weigh approx 1400kg and handle in the same leagues as Porsches. :)

Cars that impress me for their technical abilities such as handling etc. are cars like Porsches, Nobles, Elises etc. Cars that use incredibly lightwieght and amazing chassis to give them great speed and amazing handling. :)

Even though I like the ability of some Japanese cars I don't really view them as cool, they are just good cars and some are extremely capable.
