Thanks to everyone who contributed! The Cayman and Hellcat were close between cool and uncool, the Huracan barely won uncool, The GT-R was a clear uncool, and the Corvette was cool, even though it got the most seriously uncool ratings of the five.

Okay, today we're dealing with track toys:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Mazda MX-5 Miata

Toyota GT86 (Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ)

Lotus Elise

Honda S2000

Toyota MR2 (any generation)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Seriously uncool, uncool, cool, or sub-zero?

Seeing the thumbnail, I was hoping the oppo cool wall wasn't made in MSpaint/given a horrible JPEG compression.

Good to know it wasn't.

WHERE IS THE NA?

NA is better for the track than an NC because simplify and add lightness

I vote for the GT86 and the Elise to both be in the top bit of the cool section.

And move the GTR over to sub zero. :)

Miata: sub–zero. Like any car it has its detractor, but there's a purity in what it's supposed to be that's remained pretty consistent for so long, and that's downright frigid.

Toyobaru: cool, same reasons as Miata but it hasn't been doing it as long.

Elise: uncool. Lotus is washed up. Get a used Atom or Cayman, depending on your practicality needs.

S2K: uncool. Buy a Miata and use the leftover cash to drop a V8 in it.

MR2: uncool. 1st gen: cool, 2nd gen: uncool, 3rd gen: seriously uncool. Average the three.

The GT86 is uncool.

you can't lump all the MR2's together! The SW20 and the ZZW30 are uncool, but the AW11 is definitely cool. Its got some bitchin 80's space wedge styling, a sweet high-revving 4AGE motor, wicked two-tone seats, and most importantly pop-up head lights

Oh yeah, here's my vote for the rest

Miata: Cool. You can't hate the Miata its simple, cheap, stupid fun

Toyobaru: Cool. I think it's pretty sweet in its own right, but its at least has other makes considering making small fun RWD cars again

Lotus: Uncool. Makes you look like you have more money than you actually have

S2000: Uncool. I really respect this car, but anytime I see one I get a serious toolbag vibe from the drivers

Haha I did it in Photoshop. I'm considering also making a spreadsheet with the placements.

Toyota GT86 and Lotus cool. The rest are uncool.

Only the Elise is cool because to the untrained eye it looks like such an exotic. the MR2 is too old to be cool and not old enough to be really cool, and if you have explain what something is, it automatically isn't cool.

The rest are underpowered meh mobiles. I dont care if the S2k revs to 9k it sounds like a garbage disposal and has near as much horsepower. If a 6 foot man get outs of an s2k or miata, I will laugh at him.

And the BRZ just sucks.

MR2=Cool (Would be sub-zero if not for the MR-S)

First, and I realise this should be obvious, I'd like to clarify that none of these ratings have anything to do with whether or not I like a given car.

Uncool. (Only the NA MX-5 is cool, and even that's a stretch.)

Uncool.

Cool.

Uncool.

Uncool. (The W10 would get a 'cool', by virtue of it being uncommon enough these days that you rarely see them driven by people who just wanted something sporty looking for very little money. The W20 needs a few more years.)

Oh, and I realise it's no longer up for contention, but the Corvette gets another Seriously Uncool from me. It's the ultimate mid-life crisis mobile, no matter how good a car it might be.

Miata- uncool. It was once cool. But not anymore

Toyobaru- cool

Lotus- uncool

S2000- uncool. I like them but you never get a cool vibe from it or the divers

Mr2- uncool. Too many uncool generations to make the cool list.

MX5 - Cool. Doesn't have the same stigma it once had, everyone like a convertible

Toybaru - uncool. Scion killed it, no one takes Scion seriously. You have to explain it, automatically uncool

Elise - uncool, no one looks good crawling out of one on their hands and knees

S2000 - cool. Looks great even 15 years later, convertible

MR2 - uncool, have to explain it to people

After reading the word "cool" so many times, I think the word "cool" looks silly now.

That's an interesting reaction. It would be a shame if I were to do it again...
