I tend to disagree:

That the meh does not count did not bother me when I voted it.
Meh is a thing to avoid, but sometimes you are torn between the great concept and the ugly looks or the other way around of a car. A meh vote shows how many people are torn up about variance in the car, without forcing them to choose.
 
If you're torn, you don't go "meh"... you go "umm".

If a car makes me go "meh", I'm voting "uncool".
 
I'd like to point out that the picture of the F430 Spider is no longer a thumbnail, but a regular size picture.

Do I get a cookie for this discovery?:dopey:

Yes you do. *hands you a cookie*

It's fixed now though.
 
To say the F150 Raptor is cool but the 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon is not (are you including the Syclone?)........you've lost your mind.
 
Since I have no way of getting to the thread in which discussion took place, does anyone here remember why the Hennessy Venom GT was put in Seriously Uncool?
 
Just use the Search function, put "Cool Wall" (in quotation marks) and "Venom" as search parameters, and there are only three threads with that in it. One of them is the voting thread.

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=128900

To summarize:
Hennessey madness - Cool!
Elise Chassis - Cool!
1,000 hp - Cool!
Had to chop up Elise chassis to fit motor - Uncool! (the word "ruined" was used a lot)
Hennessey: Douche-y customer service - Uncool!
$850k for an Elise - Uncool!
$850k for a Hennessey product - Uncool!

The voting was pretty close. It was a love it or hate it car.

 
I'm deeply offended this is in the uncool section

Well...

Please do not complain about the position of a certain vehicle on the wall, there was already a given debate time for that. The members of GTP have voted and spoken with the level of coolness being determined by the majority. If you wish to see the thread that the discussion took place in, simply click on the picture of the relevant car.

That's in the OP, so I'm not trying to offend.

Also, Lexus IS? The one on the wall is the stock (key word here) IS 250 SR. Total votes were 2-SZ, 20-Cool, 27-Uncool, and 7-SU.

Aside: If you do live in Japan, do they sell Lexus' there? I don't know, I've assumed that they were kept as Toyotas.

After approaching the staff and this thread's starter, TheBook, BKGlover now has control of the GTP Cool Wall for its rebirth...
 
If I may point out a small change.....the '87-'92 5.0 mustang should be '87-'93. 93 being the last year before the sn95 was introduced
 
No problem, naturally I'd pick up on that :lol:


There are a few without years too if that matters.
 
Yeah, I know. Might try to fix it sometime.
