This car makes this song come into my head:



Seriously uncool because I find that song irritating.

For some reason, whenever I am presented with an image of a Mazda RX500, I inexplicably have the Village People invade my head. I probably saw a picture of one while that song was playing on the radio as a child or something. I don't know.
 
I don't have a driver's license so I can't drive any car anyways. Besides some cars aren't made for driving. Back to the topic, it's a meh for me, looks fugly in the back, but it's decent in the front. Performance is decent, and rotaries are irrelevant to coolness.

Anything can be relevant to coolness.
 
Rotaries aren't such a bad idea though. Sure, they have some pitfalls. But all engines do. Hybrid systems, small 4 pot NA's, big turbo, small turbo, huge V8's, loud V12's, boxers, the VR6, etc.

Every engine type has benefits and limitations. I personally would love to have a rotary in my life, I don't think it's nearly as bad as half of the new things being put in/on cars these days.

As for the car, it's a concept. So it should be SU. But it just isn't. SZ from me.
 
I've never seen this car before, but I love the space age, futuristic look. I'll give it sub zero.
 
I voted meh. The rear-end gives that "prototype" feel but the front-end looks quite similar to that of the Ford GT40. I'm clueless on engines but it's been stated before as a rotary engine.
 
It looks so unique that it gets an automatic "cool" from me. Plus it drives brilliantly if I can believe GT6! :lol:

But the GT40 was a prototype... :confused:

Yeah in 1964. Aren't all cars concept/prototype at one point? But why does the "prototype" matter for the front-end? It looks like a car that people had been aware of for the past few years at that point.
 
The Ford GT40 (excluding the Mark III) is still a prototype. Always has been and always will be.
