GTP Cool Wall: 1985-1987 Citroen BX Sport

[Cano]

I hate to disagree with you people. Old Citroën's are NOT Cool... they are horrible.

Seriously Uncool.

You suck, dude.

This thing is sooooooooo 80s overborard it's almost impossible. Very cool. Just look at those wheels. Awesome.

Seriously uncool...

Front wheel drive - not cool
Citroen - not cool
Hatchback sedan - weird
Typical demographics = old man who usually wear their socks all the way up together with sandals and shorts... ( i am Sorry if you do)

I grew up seeing those cats everywhere, i never liked them...

Boooo

Getting a cool vibe from the car.

CI is completely unneeded, but if W&N wants to take the time to convert CC to CI then fine. If it bothers you so much then just ignore it, it isn't cluttering up the list of specs, and it's not like he didn't include CC to go along with it. It may not be needed, but it is doing no harm at all.

I think I'll hop aboard the "old Citroëns are cool" train.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Seriously uncool, just like people who insist on using outdated measurement systems such as Cubic Inches.

Use CCs like any normal human being.

Those are provided as well.

It's a bit out of its league with all these sports modifications to what is otherwise a very bland design, but it has this aura of "I don't care what you think, deal with it." Cool.

Citroens are uncool in general, so 80s Citroens must be....you know.

Apart from the Sport preceding the GTi 16V, as well as the launch of the MkII (I think Sport models still had the funky interior), I don't see too much point in having this polled when the 16V was nominated a few months ago.

My opinion doesn't differ much this time around either. While having lower performance figures than the later 16V while dressed up in a much more sporty frock makes it ever so slightly less cool, the more interesting interior just about puts it on equal terms with the 16V.

Ah, you've raised an interesting point actually - the Sport was indeed the older, cooler shape - but the image heading up this poll is incorrect as it's a post-facelift model (with slightly fussier styling and without the funky old-style interior).

I have reason to believe the one in the OP might even be a 16V. Given the later Sport models had almost exactly the same exterior design from what I can tell.

Older Sport models had the "BX SPORT" front door stickers and the Mk I headlights. Which I think did give it a more sporty and distinctive appearance.

I'll actually vote this as cool.

Seriously uncool.

Sort of looks like a French knockoff version of the Audi Quattro. It's Meh to me.

I measure volume in drams. I demand equal representation.

It has hydraulic suspension. So cool!
And before someone says that the average Joe won't know anything about hydraulic suspension, the rear end of the car rises up when you start it up and even the average Joe will notice that.
It's like a spaceship!

My dad had one of these when I was 8ish. I still see this car as an 8 year old would.

 

[LancerEvo7]

Nothing really sticks out about it to me, positive or negative. Meh.

 

[Michelin]

For some reason I liked the car. Cool for me.
