    Well my mum drives a Bee-em and she drives like a bit of a dick. (coming from someone who's stacked two cars)

    Alfas are still cool though.

    no the dicks have moved from BMW to Audi, and subsequently the BMW M3 was declared "cool"

    I saw a C5 on the road the other day (the only one i've seen) and I have to say it looked very 'cool'. Can't say the same about the blue M3 I saw today though.

    Well I was always under the assumption that Clarkson thought big citroens were 'cool' and quirky.

    It was, finally, a brilliant episode, my favourite for ages. About time they actually had some bloody cars.
    I think this whole Cool Wall debate is just wrong; RS4 is, and always will be, cooler than the M3. If only because BMWs in general are driven by tossers, with the M3 only enhancing that. RS4 > M3 C63 > Both

    You'd dismiss it purely based on the fact the it's apparently driven by dicks? Granted some may be but still...

    I'm peeved at the moment, I missed Clarkson 3 weeks ago whilst he was staying at the hotel where I work. It's not the 1st time he's stayed there too according to my boss and both Hammond and May have stayed there too.

    Agreed!

    well I remember the C6 was "cool" but this time he declared "everything big and French" to be "uncool". It was Hammond who managed to move the C5 to the cool spot.

    And to Kitdy, what do you know about Citroens in the first place...

    I know old geezers like you drive them. They are thusly uncool.

    Let's just say that I know enough enough about Citroen to know that I am not at all interested in any of their offerings. I also know enough about them to know that "driving fun" was not one of their major design goals.

    God, it hurts me to say this, but I think Chevys are more exciting.

    A Cobalt SS will get all the ladies as badda well knows - the ultimate in panty dropping tarted up econobox technology.

    This really kills me though - I think I'd rather a Pontiac over a Citroen.

    At least I can have fun throwing around a G8 whilst paying half the price for gas that your typical Citroen driver pays.
