Hello Hofmeister kink, fancy seeing you here.

Anyway, this is a very stylish car but I'm having a hard time going higher than "meh" for the simple reason that its been in my personal queue for years and nothing about it seemed to grab me enough to nominate it. I'd always say "The IR300 is next" and then wind up finding something else I'd rather nominate. I only did it now to get it out of the way. So meh from me, however dumb a reason I have, although I'm sure there will be no shortage of cools and SZs to offset me.

For a moment, I was thinking this car was made by Rivelta, like from the Ridge Racer games! Since I have absolutely never heard of this car or seen it before, I am going on first impressions. And as they say, you only get one chance at a first impression. I think this car has enough character and stats to get a solid Cool or better rating. So that's my call- Cool.

Rivolting.

In all seriousness, a very graceful looking Italian grand tourer, gives off Lamborghini 350 GT vibes. Solid cool.

I've seen this one on the move, a long time ago and it's very pretty.
Didn't know it had a Chevy 327, I have somewhat of a soft spot for american V8s, so yeah, a very high cool for me.

This car radiates pure coolness.

This one is just

I wouldn't mind driving one on a daily basis instead of my Mondeo.

Its a big Italian 60s coupe. Its nice looking but not as drop dead as the best of the breed. So not quite Sub Zero but Cool.
