The Lynden Auto Show

No matter what you may have been told, there is no way to look cool in the following vehicles. Trucks are *cool period, so no need to discuss.

Any Hyundai period.

Any Kias.

The Ford, ok easier to list what does look cool. The Ford GT and Ford Mustang, that’s it.

Any GM car, unless, as part of your midlife crisis, you just need to drive a “Vette”. Even the *Avalanche is a sad looking truck.

Volvos’ are not cool looking, they are safe looking. They are soccer mom looking. They look like something your boss might drive. But not cool.

Any minivan. It cracks me up to watch a teenage boy try to look cool driving this, hell it cracks me up watching his dad trying to look cool driving it. ‘Get Shorty’ was a great movie and the minivan was one of the best running gags.

Jury is out on the Hummer; I think it depends on who’s driving it.

Lincolns, Buicks and Caddies are your grandparent’s car, end of conversation.

BMW and Benz make good looking SUVs, Porsche’s looks like a bad dream from a designer smoking something from the Black Forest. Toyota does a pretty good job as well. The rest, just turn on a blender and they all look alike.

VW makes cool looking cars, but mostly their chick cars.

Subaru, well golly. It’s so gosh darn environmentally correct. But cool? I think not.

Among many none cool cars I think the award, hands down, has to go to the Chevy Malibu Maxx. It is one seriously un-cool looking car. It may hold the standard for boring.
