Almost blends into the background. Meh.
 
CUV, and not even good one at that. Uncool.
 
Call it another guilty pleasure of mine. One I was curious to get others' thoughts on, especially from those outside of its original markets.

It's an odd mix of Japanese mini-MPV (Honda S-MX) and SUV that was quite the departure from what we were used to around the turn of the millennium. Something akin to what the Juke did a decade later. Attempting to be trendy through quirky design.

Top Gear were spot-on with the pram comparison though. Not only in terms of design, but the affordable schoolrun-mobile image that's as strong as it was the day it went on sale here. So I can't help but find it as cool as:

Helplessly Regurgitating Vindaloo.

Hopelessly uncool.

Nothing special. Meh

Off topic: I need to remember to actually use my new font.
 
Totally inoffensive; it's not cool, nor is it uncool.
 
Hopeless in terms of utility compared to the CR-V, but help me, I love these things.

Still, Cool wall, not Like wall.

Meh.
 
I always had a soft spot for these things.
 
@VEXD You timed this, didn't you.

I've always found these to be cool.
 
I quite like these, but that really doesn't make it cool - good =/= cool. It's still a crossover, and despite me having an inexplicable soft spot for it, it is a crossover and therefore resolutely meh.
 
Basic transport, but knocked down to uncool for being a raised up car.
 
I like the HR-V, but I'm not sure the situation exists in which small crossovers can be considered cool.

The X-90 is probably closer to small crossover than any other label you can apply, and those are always cool.
 
Wait... There's a car in those pictures? Must've missed it I guess. It is so generic its Uncool.
 
I always found Honda's failure to make the HR-V interesting somewhat amusing. Meh.
 
Meh. Looks alright, but it's not exciting. I think I like the new HR-V better.
 
LOL, why? It just isn't attractive. Uncool
 
It would be a "meh" if it weren't so goofy looking.

Uncool.
 
You may disagree with me, but I favor the styling of the HRV. Obscure, but in a good way.

Cool.
 
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
