Oddjob Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Any list like this raises a great number of questions about the reasoning behind the list itself. Here's another question... Note the 1955-1957 Chevy Bel Air (#7 on the list). Certainly these cars belong on the list. But while the '55 and '56 are quite similar, the '57 is practically a different car. The styling changed, the engine was bigger, the first FI cars were made. And yet, the Z listing is for the '69-'73 240Z (#47). Why not include the 260 and 280? Did they somehow become un-cool?

jerryb Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 There are a lot of revolutionary and innovative cars on that list...but a few are far from cool ... A Hudson...Not cool...old! Citroen DS...amazing but not cool Miata.....Cute but not cool Checker Marathon...Sort of coolish but it really doesnt cut it..its a TAXI! Benz 6.9...LOL,,,nice but not cool. Overall a good list that could always be argued by somebody. Lets not confuse technology and innovation with COOL. Innovation does not make a car cool.....In my mind a cool car is one that turns heads no matter where its driven. No matter what TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS are built in....peoples heads will crank over as you drive by and they will think....wow I wish I had that car...."Cool"!
