I am almost sorry to give it an uncool! But Lancia gave us the Stratos and then the 037... well, sorry, but the 037 is deeply in its ancestor's shadow IMO

I know it predates the Ferrari but this looks like the bastard child of a Testarossa and a stock Monte Carlo IMO...uncool

TT has a good point about the Stratos. The only bad thing about the Stratos is that the name is also shared with a particularly offensive aftershave sold during the 70s/80s...

I think it is a uncool car. It looks bad but honestly I don't have any idea how it is going on the roads.

its on the verge... but i voted 'cool' as it was the last RWD rally car to remain competitive.

nowhere near the success of the Stratos, nowhere near the design of the stratos... yet it does remain aye-talian in its style. sporting, but not racy IMO

On the contrary I consider that the car looks great; in addition, when talking about its performances, suspensions, entertainment, its charisma and so on, the car deserves to be subzero. At the end of the day, I voted it as cool
