Cars in general are uncool?

Have you ever experienced a traffic jam? Those are cars in their most natural 21st century situation, and from my experience very uncool.

Unless you are a car person, cars are simply a form of transportation, and in some ways, pretty bad one at that.

Most of the cars in the ice box are dangerous death traps.

Who cares about the ice box? "Like Wall" results don't change the fact most cars there are seriously uncool one bit.
 
What's the point of polling cars on the cool wall if you just end up saying Seriously Uncool to every car just because it's a car and is a way of transport?

BYD has flaws in crash test

F3 model cars made by BYD Auto Co Ltd (BYD) received a score of zero in two crash tests, according to data from China-New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP), Shanghai-based National Business Daily (NBD) reported Thursday.

A test of the upper-legs protection during front impact got a zero rating out of a maximum score of 2, while chest protection during the side impact test also received a score of zero.

C-NCAP gave the BYD car an overall rating of 3 stars, ranking it seventh out of more than 20 type-A passenger vehicles sold in the Chinese auto market.

Chongqing Lifan Auto 520 was the only other car that received a zero in upper-legs protection while eight autos failed the chest protection test, according to NBD.

An industry analyst said that several Chinese auto brands have flaws in their safety configuration, technology and consistency of products, which may have caused the low rating in the crash test.

Recently, BYD F3 cars were found to have airbags that failed to automatically open during crashes. In several cases the defect caused severe injuries and even death, NBD reported.


That's why.

No disagreement that this is probably a really unsafe car, but if that's the reason why this is uncool, then to be fair, a lot of the cars in the "Sub Zero" result and up would be uncool as well as many of them are also, probably very unsafe in a crash.

Because some cars give better impression than others, if a car doesn't make anyone care whether it's there or not it's just a car and therefore a basic uncool, if it's super flashy or ugly and makes people turn their heads and the driver look like a massive knob it's seriously uncool, and if the car is neither of those things it's cool.

So? Since when has safety (or lack thereof) influenced coolness? Most of the cars in the ice box are dangerous death traps.

Looking at most of the cars in SZ or higher, they have other qualifications giving them a high score.

This piece of crap has nothing, and was build in a time where safety comes first, unlike most of the SZ/Icebox vehicles. Except for cars build in China.

As I said, it would have been meh if it wasn't build in China.

But, of course, that's my opinion. :P
 
Front end of a Corolla Altis mated with the rear end of a Honda City. Can you imagine anything more original than that??? :ouch::irked:

Let this car be used as an offering to be thrown into the flames of Hell to appease the demons residing from within.
 
It's a knock-off of a Japanese car manufactured by a nation that hates Japan for its war atrocities committed 60-100 years ago, and yet they call themselves "Build Your Dreams".

There's a one-make series for this vehicle, but they hold all the races at the Stockholm Syn Drome.
 
I usually give standard transport a meh, unless it's exceptionally dull. This is an exotic Chinese rarity and probably has no safety features, which knocks it up to a cool.
