I'm gonna cool in this one as well.

Like what TurNismo said, cute and vintage.
 
Now this is probably my favorite period of JDM. Small little sports cars that are inspired by European ones, but still distinctly different, and more reliability to boot. I actually like the coupe version more than the convertible here, I don't know why. I know these little Hondas are fun. Cool from me.

Currently, an S600 is the highest Honda on the wall bar NSXes. Let's see if we can beat (get it?) it.
 
That's a cool car for me, so it gets a Cool.
I mean, it's an adorable and tiny japanese sports car from the sixties, how couldn't be any less? Not to mention it's tiny and high-revving engine, it's a treat.

It was featured as the main characters’ car in the Franco-Belgian comic Spirou et Fantasio back in the early 70’s. Don’t know if these comics were ever translated to English, but they featured a lot of contemporary cars back in the day and they were quite popular in Sweden.

And the car is a sub-zero for me.
 
Is it just me, or do the wheels seem obnoxiously large relative to the rest of the car? It at least seems that way in Horizon 4.

Anyway, a very high cool. Unique enough that there's nothing like on the road, charming enough to be appreciated by anybody, and just naturally garners attention on it's own without screaming for it.

While the car clearly wasn't meant to go fast, it's lack of get-up keeps it out of Sub Zero for me.
