Is Aston Martin the coolest brand in Britain?

[AB Asks]

Aston Martin has been voted the UK's coolest brand ahead of the iPod, YouTube and Agent Provocateur, amongst others. It is thought that the marque's association with the Casino Royale James Bond film has helped it reach the top spot. Do you agree with this? Or should another brand have made to number 1?

So 0.003% of the population think Aston Martin is cool, that is reassuring, but mostly I think � at least when I am in mine � people generally think I look like a flash tw@t. So its ok and �cool� if I am not in it. Perhaps this �survey� should be renamed, the �latest fad brand� seeing as the coolness seems to relate to how in vogue the name is, not how cool.

I would probably say Lamborghini or Ferrari are cooler.

I don't even know what Aston Martin is, so either I am decidedly uncool, or I'm not mindlessly taken in by fashion nonsense and big business advertising.
