    Yes, the KG were nice too although the Alpine would leave even a highly tuned one for dead on a back road.

    So by your rationale been well informed or having discernment makes you uncool. Cool only applies to a small section who are somewhat unknowing and superficial.
    Yes, actually. That's the whole point behind the cool wall as I see it!
    Case study - the BMW 850ci is an overpowered monster which hasn't a hope in hell of putting the power down properly, even for it's day it was a bit disappointing - but it's still seriously cool.

    i think we can all agree on a few things , the following cars can never be cool no matter what

    smart cars
    Merc a-series
    Toyota Yaris
    Renault anything

    No, I dont think we can agree!

    smart, yaris, a class yes ok.

    Renault?! No way! Yes they make some awful ****e, but I think the renaultsport meganes and clios are awesome.

    I LOVE the megane R26R and the fact that it isnt really a looker makes it cool too. Its ALL about the driving. How can a carbon fibre bonnet, ultra lightweight philosophy, plastic windows, semi slicks and a half roll cage NOT be cool?

    Its a focus RS with all the chav dialled out.

    My definition of cool is any car that I would want to walk up to and have a good look at. Doesn't matter if it's a well engineered or not. If it appeals to YOU enough for a good gawk then it must be cool, no!?!

    I don't think I've ever wasted my time having a second look at a Yaris!

    Ugly cars can still be cool, loud boisterous cars can be cool, cars from movies / tv series of our youth can definitely be cool, cheesey yes, but cool!

    Here's a couple of my favourites:

    I remember when I was about 10 my friends cousin had a MK III Celica painted up the very same as this. Back then I taught it was the coolest car on the planet.

    Are you sure it wasn't the Mk II Series B? Only Celica I can remember with side-by-side square headlights.

    Funny, I always thought the Mk VI Celica looked a lot like a Second Gen Camaro from the front!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,080 ✭✭✭✭Big Nasty


    Cool car but nigh-on-impossible to find a good one these days. I had a '94 Quattro Coupe 2.8 4WD (was Quattro on book as opposed to 80 coupe and same when you needed parts). I will cry for the rest of my life on letting that car go. Was a minter in British Racing Green with cream leather interior, loadza power and handled like a go-kart. I absoultely loved it and haven't been able to find anything to match it since. Sold it for €5k in '06. Stupid, stupid mistake, they are such a cool and understated car and I can't find another one to replace it!

    It's possible alright I am not 100% sure, it was about 18 - 20 years ago. Was defently a Celica though.

    So, the Golf.
    Not a cool car...
    BUT!
    The W12 on the other hand, it's cool in the same way the ClioV6 is cool. Just because they are bloody mental yokes.
    I really hope the W12 goes into production

    They are odd, but if you saw one out and about, you know you'd think it's cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭niceirishfella


    The W12 Golf is not cool because its the wet dream of golf owners. VW never went into production with them so they are not cool.
