And seriously.... A caterham? 99.99% of people here will never own or drive one just likr numerous other submissions.

Pretty much every car here, besides the saab is some type of sports/sporty car. Refer to the actual wall and notice how many different types of vehicles there are. Hybrids, luxury, sports, exotic, and simple day to day cars. Cant have a cool wall if every car posted is some sports car that everybody is gonna say cool or sub zero.

Change it up

Technically speaking the Viggen would be is classified as a sports sedan/coupe (and finding one is next to impossible), its the 2000's equivalent of todays Focus RS's or Megane's, raw FWD that would blow the doors off your average RWD car

But yeah I agree..... In terms of diversity, the wall is failing hard atm lol

I know what you mean about bad tq steer. Had a 98 s/c grand prix with 340hp/380tq...talk about mad pulling. Better make sure you have the wheel straight when you floor it. lol

I'd put the R33 GTR into Uncool. Simply because it looks like a 2 door maxima and is the model most likely to be driven by ****heads here in Australia.

R34 and R32 are way cooler.

Uncool - Because you'll be driving around loving it and then next year you'll see the M4 and cry.

2014 Aston Martin Vanquish

Cool. One of the best looking Aston's since the DB4. Those wheels actually remind me a bit of the FRS/86/BRZ stockies.

This should be interesting..... I actually think this Aston isn't going to get as many SZ votes as i'd think it would due to that color.... I just can't take orange cars serious

But then again.... it's a vanquish which kinda auto puts into the pantheon of cool cars
