Uncool cars with pop up headlights

[Jimmy Choo]

Watching the Autoalex video where he buys a Volvo 480 turbo, they say they can't think of any car with pop up headlights that aren't cool.

I don't think the Ferrari Mondial is cool. Are there any others you lot can think of?

[mik]

No.
Every car with pop up. Every single one. Is cool.

[RobYob]

Ford Capri convertible

Wrong wheel drive, terribly built and fugly

[RobYob]

Mk1 300ZX.

[duncs500]

No.

I'm inclined to agree with mik.

323 astina, isuzu piazza, 5 door integra, accord/vigor, ballade, 929 hb when the lights are up, vl calais.

[Gavster]

No.

An MR2-based 355 replica is seriously uncool.

[RobYob]

vl calais.

Well that's the wrongest answer I've seen in years.

[jamcg]

I was never a fan of the look of the cizeta v16 headlights, with that double stacked pop up, but I don’t think you can really call a 16 cylinder engine uncool

[Jobbo]

Mk1 300ZX.

And the Mitsubishi 3000GT

[Jobbo]

Oh, how could I forget the Ford Probe.

[RobYob]

Mk1 300ZX.

And the Mitsubishi 3000GT

No way! You're on your own with that misjudgement

[Carlos]

Mk1 300ZX.

I'm not having that, what's not cool about that in the early 80's?



And the later wide body ones look fantastic even now.

929 hb when the lights are up.

That goes for all of them though. Maybe we need a "What cars with pop up headlights look cool cool when their lights are popped up?" thread.

And the Mitsubishi 3000GT

I think Barker described it as "a lot of awful car for the money". I kinda like them but I'd take a 3rd gen supra over them any day.

Stratos, with a pod of four extra lights between them

Toss up between mk3 supra and testarossa for coolest for me

[RobYob]

Mk1 300ZX.

A fine example of the marquee.

But Toyota managed to make the Supra not look like it was falling asleep all the time.

[Mito Man]

I reckon there must be some American shite with pop up lights.

[integrale_evo]

Ford probe for example

The c4 corvette had very cool ones which kind of backflip out

Plenty of other US ones I can think of with retractable covers, but they don’t really count.
