Stuff like this is half the reason there's 15 pages. There's no need to continuously go at one dude because he has an opinion that differs to the norm - it's just asking for a reaction.

This really is 16 pages of people trying convince this guy that this car is uncool. So what if he thinks it's cool. So what that this is his opinion of luxury. Everybody else doesn't. So what. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the kid feels a bit bullied for having a unique opinion. I don't blame him either, for defending his opinion either.
Now, don't get me entirely wrong. There has been some quality posts in this cool wall thread.

No, he made claims such as people voting SU and really thinking it's SZ, claimed he knows more than everyone on this site combined about 80s American cars, that he could and will (get this) write an encyclopedia about 1980s American cars.
There have surely been dozens of people piggybacking the flame train, but he asked for it, at least to some extent.

Yeah. The moment you go biased about a piece of **** and brag you know everything about it, it just screams uncool, and expect people vote that's a cool cars or in the freezer. I can understand his tastes but, to brag about something on a car like this, is a little ridiculous.
For example, I love a 90's Mitsubishi Eclipse, but I don't protect it that much, I do somewhat think it's a great car to look at, but due to ricing practice and due to a popular movie, it just didn' get the respect it deserved.
Those SZ/Cool votes might be not just the opinion of others but the biggest flaw of the cool wall - people can do joke votes, not serious, and this will affect the rating, making it not go to Hell. Which is unfortunate.
But seriously though @The87Dodge to expect everyone to like it to think it's coolness...to be honest, there is nothing cool about it, it's just a bland american car, only to end up in the junk. It may have helped on the certain things but, doesn't help much. I will be legit honest with you guys - at first, I thought he was trolling us all. Until he was serious about this thing, I was not sure wether to be in silence, or feel bad for him.
Anyway, this is my last post on this thread, This been QUITE the trip.. Adios, Dodge Aries.

I initially posted my vote (SZC) a few days ago on page 14.
Seeing how "exciting" this thread is, i read it entirely and decided to reply, but didnt get the chance to post until now.
Enjoy the reading:
guys... I am coming here kinda after everything, but it seem the horse is still moving a bit.
Actually i am here to revive it....
Because i think the man may have a point, and we could all learn something...
Au contraire... I fear that he may be the only one who does...
To be on the cool wall: it's actually not what people think it's cool that make it cool.
Coolness is not necesaryly what everyone says.
Sometimes, being "cool" is exactly what others dont think is cool (The Yuma Puma is NOT cool).
ESpecially since all of you can benefit from lookin a bit deeper into it.
Ok to everything you said. Since you actually had one and drove it, your point of view is legitimate.
Having said that, if a person pulled up in one that is a more than perfect condition, the car would be an instant cool i think...
Most votes should be like yours i think.
The Aries is a bit like an American Corolla...
The horse doesnt want to die..
Long live the horse...

Yes but here 87Dodge wanted to enlight a few of us... Why cant he take this opportunity to do so?

Agrees but doesnt prevent the Aries to be cool on its own.
I lol

The car sucks if it looks like a beater, but if there was one in mint conditions, it would be so cool, dont you think?
Your understanding in the mist of rejection from others is refreshing.
I dont see how liking the car can be wrong... It's not like we are talking about the Puma.
Most votes should be like yours i think.

I actually love boxy cars.... That may explains it...
The horse doesnt want to die..
The guy is liking this car without intention to impress the women, and i think that makes it cool...
Long live the horse...

That is an "if" of Godzilla-like proportions.
And after having driven an HHR for a while at work, now when I see one being driven, I think "of all the vehicles on the planet you could have possibly chosen to buy, you selected... that." I'd think the same thing for an Aries. Perfect condition or not.

No.
Sure, the car saved the company from bankruptcy, but that doesn't save the car from being bad, whether it's in "mint condition" or a beater.
How about we keep the horse in it's grave? The discussion of this car has gone long enough.Long live the horse...
That being said, I'm pretty much done with this thread.

In the end it's just banter bro's.
Seriously, the car isn't exactly a "cool" thing to be proud of... The design is terrible even if it's meant to be a "box" car, it looks like if could fall apart any second, and it isn't even that popular to be considered "cool", honestly I respect other people's tastes but sometimes they can show too much love for something that isn't exactly "good". I am surprised that they would name it Aries just to make it have a decent name but that was years ago so it doesn't really matter.
Anyways, the thread was just pure banter against the car's existence and well the car deserves to be in a grave so no one can know of its existence, I highly doubt it would have any relevance in the future so it's better to let it go.

At this point, I don't care if this car exists or not. If someone gave me an Aries today, I'd be okay with it. At least it isn't a Yugo, it isn't a Trabant, it isn't a Lada, and it isn't the infamous ZAZ 968 with a door that won't shut.
At least it came with a tiny hole for ice fishing.
It's just an 80's car you drive ironically, but not seriously. That's the exact purpose of this car and it will never be a performance car.
Unless if you think it is, and if so, you have the imagination of a 3-year old.
Dear god. Kill this one with fire, not your granddad's Aries in mint condition.
However, with pockets filled with endless amounts of cash, you could just buy that Aries and make it ludicrously better than it ever was buy making it a sleeper by throwing in a better engine.
However, you can kill all of the other Aries that look like this one because good god they are truly ugly. Just don't mistaken it for the 1978 Dodge Magnum.
And apparently, someone already did grenade this poor Magnum, thanks a lot Cadillac man!

Have you read the posts you make regarding the Aries?
This thread honestly didn't need a revival, it's reached it's limit.
