How can a car that looks as ugly as that, and will only be bought by people who lack hair be cool?

I was excited, when I've seen the info about this car first time... but I don't know why, it disapointed me 
I'll leave this vote opened and will wait, if TG will show the test track, not just the challenge Italy - UK....

hmmm, i think its a cool car.. it has this emense power and a nice interior, but it doesn't make me wet my self when ever i see it, and to be honest when i saw the topgear test for it i changed my mind a bit about that car..

It's SubZero for me, because it achieves quite a lot, even if it may be flawed in parts.
Price is not a factor for me to downrate a car, and never has been. Most subzero cars will always be out of reach for most of us, but that's no reason to not like the car IMO.

It's going to one of those "look what I have" things for the super rich people who will never drive it how its made to be driven.
Just wait, you're going to see some seriously bad accidents with this car because people have more money than brains or driving skills. The first time some idiot opens this car up on a public road there's going to be people killed.
Uncool. :roll:

Well said. 8) |
I could't have put it better in my own words...uncool. |
These guys already said everything that needed to be said... 
Seriously Uncool

It wasn't just rumours... lets just say some of us have contacts in high places... and these people are never wrong - ever.
This car is probaly proof that marketing hype can work.. all the dreamers who suck up the media crap and got all caught up in the hype that is the Blaggati Vagrant..

Still, you cant just say "some people have friends in high places and they are never wrong" and expect people to believe it any more than the media.
I havent heard anything of the overheating issues once this car has been produced and to believe it I'd have to hear it from a) a reliable source or b) a couple of sources who know what they are on about.

With ten radiators I should hope it doesn't overheat! 
Interestingly, in one of the recent Top Gear mags, they drove the Veyron (not JC), and one of the comments was "it really doesn't feel all that fast in normal road driving, an F430 or Noble feels faster" [because of the turbo lag].
Another thing...where the fuck are some REAL test numbers?! I have read probably 6 or 7 different articles of journalists getting to drive the car for an hour, a day, whatever, but not one single real road test! Nothing to confirm or deny the Veyron's lofty acceleration or braking numbers...We obviously all know the car is insanely fast, but I am really anxious to see what exactly the Veyron will do, and we are left only with Bugatti's numbers. :roll: It seems all of the 'tests' have been more like 'first drives'...

Tell Bush that, he'll laugh in your face
But you're right, the Veyron is nothing to get all riled up about....

Actually I can and I just did - whether you choose to elieve it or not is your problem - not mine 
Obviously you haven't paid attention while hanging out at JabbasWorld.. there are some times we get the real scoop before anyone else.

I rate the Veyron cool:
I respect the Big Bug endless for it's amazing feats of technology, i mean come on. 1000bhp, four wheel drive and four turbochargers. Good looking exterior and an amazing interior.
My only issue with the Veyron is the fact that it does have 1000bhp; 260bhp is probably enough. 600bhp is more than enough; the Bugatti is just two fast; i believe in all around world usability your not going to get any where faster in the Veyron than you would in a CGT or a Zonda F. I'd also prefer a little less weight; i can tolerate 1650kg of a Murcielago; but 1955kg
