Sorry Ferrari, your cars just aren't cool anymore. Far to many halfwit footballers and fake popstars drive (and usually crash) them. The fact that the F430 is new only makes it worse as the celebrity/footballer type only wants it because it's A: Expensive, B: All the other footballers have one and C: its the new one. It may well rise out of the uncool section when it “goes out of fashion”

One possible hope of salvation from ultra-uncooldom for Ferrari is the current craze for SUVs, with the celebs/footballers trying to outdo each other with the new biggest SUV, with the stupidest chrome wheels and the blackest windows. If they all buy these instead of Ferraris, they could well be cool again.

So last year. (oh yeah and it's a BMW)

Quite a cool car, so why put a tractor engine in it? Forget anything Audi says about its quite diesel engines, you can hear it, and it wipes out any coolness the car previously had.

A4 Petrol

Mondeo Man has can never be cool, very average, very dull, very mundane. Just becasue James Bond hired one it doesn't make it cool, product placement is never cool.

Have you ever noticed when you are driving along the motorway it is always the BMWs who get right up behind you and flash their lights, then undercut you, cut you off and don't let you in anywhere? Well you might also notice most Vectras do exactly the same, usually worse.

One theory is that Vectra drivers really, really want to be one of those BMW drivers who loves tailgate, but they are still waiting for that promotion they need to get that BMW, thus making them even more angry and susceptible to road rage a and other BMW driver traits.

Typical Vectra driver: Male, 30-40 years slicked back black hair, shirt and tie (with the collar done up too tight) red face, suit jacket hanging up in the back . Not cool.
