Cool

I've just bought this months TG and there's a little suppliment inside featuring the 100 coolest cars. Sorry to disappoint you guys, but the Impreza comes a lowly 82nd, just behind the Evo (flame suit on), but 10 above the Focus RS (phew).
Most notable for me are the Volvo P1800 at 77 (always loved them, don't know why), Audi Quattro Sport @ 74, Alfa SZ @ 64, Audi RS2 @ 56 (still the best 4WD estate ever), E Type @ 36, Merc Gullwing @30, Integrale @ 15 and the DB5 at no.1 of course.
Ooh, by the way, the Corrado came in at 18. 64 places cooler than a Scooby, LOL .

Full list here

Cool isn't best.

The list isn't Clarkson's either.

Well 'cool' is very subjective, is it a panel of people or the almighty jezza's own list, actually probably not cos I dont think he would put a smart car at no.3!!!!! WTF!!!

It is Clarkson afterall... I'm unfortunate enough to have a couple of his car videos, and in one he claims the Ferrari F355 is the best car in the world, ever... while he's got one of course.

The bloke's an anus. I gave up looking at the list after seeing that the Renault Kangoo is "cooler" than the E Type Jaguar.

Fool.

well they might be classifying "cool" to appeal to the trendy urbanites out there who will swallow this crap cos they feel the need to be "cool" themselves.
Let me guess, the #1 cool car is available to buy brand new today right?
*looks at list*

I've tried voting but it doesn't seem to work - anyone got it to work?

Renault 4 at 66 - obviously a cool car

If you have the money and the access to any vehicle then surely you'd own the best car in your own opinion and you wouldn't need to drive something and claim it was, just because you own it?

Clarkson rules too.

Aye, Clarkson has a lot of dosh, and can buy whatever car he likes, probably... however, at the time he purchased the F355, there were a large number of the cars he's listed in this Cool Chart available, and he didn't buy them. Instead he bought the Ferrari, which isn't even in this Top 100 list.

So Clarkson is basically a hypocrite.

He says the F355 is a great car but he NEVER said it was cool. So his opinion still stands.
