Are you driving a "cool" car??

NOTHING is as cool as the Pinto (especially with the paneling) BUT...

If you're in a 2009 Ford Focus, a 2010 Kia Soul, or a 2009 Smart Fortwo you are, at least according to "Kelley Blue Book." These cars are all on the vehicle valuation company's Ten Coolest New Cars Under 18-Thousand-Dollars for 2009 list. The Focus is getting the nod for its, quote, "affordable music and phone integration system" and its "European-like driving dynamics." The Soul is praised for having, quote, "kickin' style and all the techie gadgets required to get by in the world today," while kbb.com says the Fortwo, quote, "delivers serious bang for the buck."
Other cars making the cut include the 2009 Volkswagen Rabbit, which is called "fun, refined and versatile," and the 2009 Nissan Cube, which at just under 15-thousand-dollars is deemed "an excellent choice for buyers who want to look cool on a budget." Mazda's once again making the list with the 2010 MAZDA3, while the 2009 Honda Fit, 2009 Scion xB, the 2009 Subaru Impreza, and the 2009 Suzuki SX4 round out the list.
