If anyone takes someone called 'Rizzle Kicks' opinion seriously then they obviously shouldn't be judging what's cool 
Trust me, they are way cooler than you. Humble kids, with a great attitude that are stoked to be doing what they enjoy, they look good, they are successful, and kids love them. All you sound like is an old man saying it was better in the olden days. How do I know this? Well, I've had the pleasure of hanging out with them and when we were introduced, first thing they said (having been tipped off my their tour manager) was "Are you the guy with the Aston?" That's pretty much what they wanted to talk about. Also they do a section in their shows playing the Bond theme (not saying this has to go along with liking Aston...). So as usual, in your hurry to dismiss other people as not as worthy of having an opinion, you are wrong. They are Aston fans.
Also, let's be honest, it's the cars that are cool, driving one doesn't by definition make the driver cool as well.
rant over.

They're way cooler than me... Oh no.. How am I going to cope now? Oh wait... I still couldn't care less. As you said in your post, they're kids who play music, please explain how that means their opinion on company perception means anything?How do I know this?

This is good news - it was a painfully lame 'title' to be honest. 'Cool' has no real meaning, and as far as I can see often means the opposite to the intended meaning.
Also glad the new car doesn't feature in the new Bond film. Break the link please. Keeping the old Dee Bee Five in the film is kind of nice though

it's a cool list, you just agreed they are cooler than you, therefore in this context, their opinion counts for more than yours.
I didn't agree anything. You're just twisting words now to try and make yourself think you're right. Thinking something is cool or not is a perception thing. They would rank right down my list of things I would rate as cool. Now Steve McQueen... He was cool

At the risk of sounding old, bitter and out of step wiv the yoof...
I've never heard of either of them!!!!
Therefore their opinion on brands counts for precisely nothing to me!!
I've heard of them! Not my kind of thing TBH and I am not interested in their opinions, nor the opinions of bands who I do actually like. Nothing personal against them, no negativity and if Chris Cornell/Eddie Vedder told me to buy a different car I'd ignore them too I've never heard of either of them!!!!
Therefore their opinion on brands counts for precisely nothing to me!!
I hope I make my own informed decisions.
The 'problem' with such a poll is who decides who selects the people who decide what's cool..? Basically a committee with their own ideas of what they want the poll to show. What's the news..? Tech stuff/online companies dominate. Ohh, it's advertising time!
