Just read in todays paper that Rolex was named 9th coolest brand in the UK
by the Centre for Brand Analysis. They were beaten by :
1. Aston Martin
2. iPhone
3. Apple
4. Bang & Olufsen
5. YouTube
6. Google
7. Nintendo
8. Agent Provocatuer

Agree some are "cool" but brands like Google? More like popular IMO.

Anyway, interesting info.

Thanks for posting.

DARK_KNIGHT · 30 September 2008, 01:11 AM

Actually.................I read it as being that ROLEX is the "coolest" watch brand in the U.K., I did not notice any other watch brand from 1 - 8th place.

THANKS FOR THE INFO !

What about :
13. Ferrari
14. Ducati
20. Lamborghini ?

It would be interesting to know what their definition of cool is?? I know plenty of trendy, arty, 'cool' types who wouldn't be seen dead wearing a casio...a vintage casio perhaps.

mfer · 30 September 2008, 02:42 AM

joe100 · 30 September 2008, 03:15 AM

The Aston Martin DB9 is the most beautiful machine ever created by the hand of man.

Perhaps, but I fancy this one:

f16570 · 30 September 2008, 05:59 AM

Down side of the Alfa, it will always break down.

scottschoe · 30 September 2008, 06:06 AM

iPhone is a brand all by itself?

These are build by a Ferrari subsidiary and come with a modified Maserati V8. More or less hand made. Now this is no guarantee that they will not break down (far from it) but they can't be compared with a 'normal' Alfa either. I will not go as far that it is the the most beautiful car ever made but it comes close.

Man, I can hear that deep roar after pushing the start button as we speak. Only downside: $$$$$$$$$$

f16570 · 30 September 2008, 06:33 AM

Hey Frans, this is a stunning car. No doubt. Give it a couple of years and pick one up for a few dollars.

gmtobsessed · 30 September 2008, 07:15 AM

Popular perhaps, because I believe owning Rolex is more cool than owning
Nintendo and iPhone at the same time
