This is The Opposite Locker where we try and sort out the cool from the square. This is a discussion system detailing how cool a car is, not how fast, fun, or frivolous it may be, but how well it looks in the cat's pajamas. But, you may be asking, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Please utilize the Anna Kendrick Test when discussing why a particular car is cool or uncool, and ask yourself, "would Steve McQueen be caught dead driving this car down route 66?"

New Kid on the Block

Subaru WRX

Let's be real for a minute, Subaru's new WRX doesn't bring longing looks, but then again I don't think it really brings any looks at all. At best, the WRX is just a cheap sedan with a hood scoop; too Fast and Furious?

Now, I'm not saying the the WRX is a bad car, in fact !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and maybe you would too, but is it cool?

I'm voting uncool because square just reminds me of the box flares it's lacking.

Anna Kendrick would see this car and you in the drivers seat and think "hmmmm he is overcompensating for something."

"Uncool"

The WRX is the uncool version of the STi, because every time you see one you think "woah! Is that an STi? Oh, nope. Just a WRX".

..."would Steve McQueen be caught dead driving this car down route 66?" Of course he would. That is the only way a man who died in 1980 could drive a car in 2014. :)

I like it more than the STi, seems to be better car as a daily driver and its cheaper, i'm actually looking foward to buy one!

I voted uncool, but this is what has always made people who drive WRXs cool. They don't look exciting (most look goofy), but they are truly one of the great bargain performance cars, so you know anyone who's driving one is driving it not for appearances, but because they truly enjoy driving. That's cool, in my book.
