A reporter selected the Ford Shelby GT500, the Smart fortwo coupe, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Saturn Sky, Mazdaspeed3, and the Toyota Yaris.

Do you agree with her pics? What's your "cool" list? Personally, we agree with the Shelby and Sky and wonder what she was on to select the others.

I think my 300D turbodiesel benz is the ultimate cool

Pshh.. my 98 corolla turns heads daily.

I've been rather fond of Scion TC's, depending on the options and color they went with. Yaris are head turners till you see the front side of the car, but then again, with that MPG, whos complaining.

My 2004 Lincoln LS makes people lose focus and drive off the highway! Im serious. The Saturn Sky & Pontiac Solstice are nice toys. I didn't expect this from  GM. Looks like an import from Europe until you see the badges. Anything with a low suspension is automatic brownie points for coolness.

I think that, in the mainstream domestic market, there are only a handful of cars that can make you look "cool," important, that can make you appear as if you're a part of selective company, and that can muster respect from even the Escalade driver or the Maybach chauffeur all at the same time.  The leaders of this pack in my opinion are the CLS from Mercedes-Benz and the mighty Range Rover.  Nothing quite like a Range Rover Supercharged wearing a black coat or a CLS63 AMG, a car so deceptively elegant that it hides its brute force with ease, staring at you through your rearview mirror.

mm...my car does not turn heads all the time, but I think that Hummer H2 would definitely do it!

BMW and Audi makes cars for Gods. Anything with a BMW or Audi symbol is automatic coolness...

I still like the C3 Vettes, especially my 81, which still gets noticed and receives positive complements .
Which is the result of a lot of TLC and maintaining the original look as when I purchased her new in 81.

their little roadster will definitely make you look cool

although, havent you wanted some car sometime in your life because you knew the person driving it? its all about being the driver that can make any car look cool, rather than the other way around

If you need a car to make you cool then I suppose you would have
  to stay in your car for the rest of your life. What happens when
  you step out of your car ? if you ain't cool I am afraid nothing
  can help you.
