At the same time, you can't make a blanket statement...I think the C63 is hilarious, but you wouldn't call that one uncool at all...well, maybe you would...
Perchance that's a bad example.

Cool.
Yes, I had seen this car on Top Gear, and there are two things I like. 1) After watching this, I had an extreme temptation to drive this through my school. 2) This is the World's Smallest Production Car. It's not exactly practical, but it interesting nonetheless. Also, I read somewhere that these cars are now worth around 50,000 Pounds.

I agree with Strittan, one would be awesome to drive round town in.

Y'know, until today I don't think I've ever seen one of these polls form a Parabola.

I'd like to crush one with a Ford F-750. Hell a Buick would do nicely.
Actually, a motorcycle would crush this nicely. Don't care which.

Hell yes, I love that, make a circuit up in your local Kmart, and have it start just before the auto section starts. You go past the auto section, then sound & vision, toys, kitchenware, around the clothing racks near ladieswear, the back straight goes past the checkouts, then past the perfumes and groceries, then around gardening and back up towards the auto section to complete the lap.
Even more epic idea.......get two of them, go to Aisle 3 & Aisle 4 of your local Woolworths and drag race.
You won't know if you're winning the race until the end because the shelves will block the side view and because they are so slow, it would take a while to finish the race too. 👍Personally, the TG test was funny in itself, but it's not really a cool car. The ones that aren't gawking at you in surprise are already pointing their fingers at the car and pissing themselves laughing at you for driving this car.
Uncool, bordering on seriously.

I have to wonder if people really think about their posts anymore. Yes, the Peel featured in Top Gear, so have many other cars - does that mean every car featured in Top Gear is cool or not cool? No, so clearly there is something that sets the Peel apart from other cars that also featured in Top Gear.
I don't see Top Gear as the only reason people think this car is cool, if that was the case, a lot of cars would be cool when they just aren't.
A more valid statement would be "People only know of this car because of Top Gear", which I imagine for the vast majority, is true. But this doesn't instantly mean its the reasoning behind why people think its cool.
The reason this car can be cool is its bizarre, mad, totally unsafe and possibly a bit useless. There are many things in this world that have similar attributes and are very cool. I guess its a case of whether you consider barmy professors in the vein of Emmett "Great scot!" Brown as cool personalities - which I very much do but I can see why nutty professors could be considered uncool too.

Going by the amount of exposure on the show, the Daewoo Lacetti should be the coolest car in the universe... but it ain't.
I never saw the Top Gear segment before this thread... but I was familiar with the car, anyway... I'm a freak for odd and unusual cars... this one is one of the oddest.
Of course, it's not quite as subzero as the Messerchmitt Tiger...
