On the first two lists I separatred the cars names but once posted they appear closer than they should be, sorry about that.

[SPN:DOC]

WHAT M3 uncool and CSL Seriously Uncool that is outrages and Honda Jazz cool , which idiot made this list..

[drakkie]

you made anb error my friend.the ford gt is exactly on the line of uncool/seriously uncool.(cos jeremy has one, and how can he possibly be cool?)i saw it on a rerun a couple of days ago.

[Cotterik]

EVO 8 and Impreza should definitely be in kool, and M3 CSL in uncool!?!? WHY? Mini Cooper S needs to be in uncool, all the audi's need to be uncool, Ferrari Enzo in uncool, and Bentley Continental GT uncool. The rest looks about right.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I'd actually agree,the CSL is an ugly car, and when you have an ugly car, people not in the know don't like it.

I don't agree with the VW Phaeton, or the Mitsubishi Shogun (Pajero/Montero) being cool, they are boring, and in the case of the Shogun, Hideous. I also Disagree with the Punto, it's boring, lazy and the only car which has progressively gotten worse with each facelift.

The Jazz is cool like the iPod is cool, functional, easy to use and practical, plus, it's full of space.

Also the Vel Satis????? These people are smoking something.

And thats what I think. I also believe that Jeremy Clarkson should listen to Richard Hammand more often, because he knows what is cool and what is not. Jeremy is off his rocker. For example Jeremy said that the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti was seriously uncool because it was designed by a man named Ken, but we all know that this is a very cool car.

[Matra et Alpine]

guys, you miss the point of it.

It's Top Gear presenters opinion and they dont' have logic to most of it
It's meant to be a light-hearted humourous item in the program and typical of the toungue-in-cheek approach they've taken for the last 5 years !!

So any attempts to justify movement should rightl be met with ....

"I'm jeremy Clarkson, I say car X is Y and that's it. ... next "

ha they put the ferrari 612 in uncool just because it was designed by a guy called Ken


EDIT/ taz i am sure that you have missed a few cars off there and the DB9 isnt in sub-zero it had to have its own firdge built at the end -past sub-zero- with a little container of liquid nitrogen in to make it look cool

[VtecMini]

I think most of the people who don't really understand the list will struggle to do so if they don't watch Top Gear.

The basic premise is that a good isn't necessarily a cool car. So the reason Ferraris aren't cool is because they make you look like a footballer, or a sad act poseur. Cars like Evos and WRXs aren't cool because they're all driven by guys called Kevin. So most of it is down to what the stereotypical driver of the car is like. Cars like the Defender are cool because they say little about you. They can be driven by a working class builder, a middle class farmer or an upper class lady of the manor. They're classless. Anything that is thought of as... erm... "compensation for other areas lacking" is instantly uncool.

That said, there's still plenty of cars on there that don't really fit that criteria, due to the law unto himself that is Mr. Clarkson, like Matra said.

It's all in good fun, as is the new Top Gear way. Or at least it will be when it restarts again.

[Niko_Fx]

There's no British car in the uncool list Where's this program from?? Oh... Right...

[Matra et Alpine]

[taz_rocks_miami]

I started this thread to see what you guys thought, agree or disagree, it's ok! I don't agree with the entire list either. Let's see what the UCP list of cool and uncool looks like.
