Hey, we're being crassly superficial in this feature -- turn the page if you are looking for more than dreamy indulgence on a rainy Vancouver day.Likely, the most controversial choice is my last one. Regular readers will recall my constant jibes at Toyota's seeming intent to out-ugly itself with each successive model.Nevertheless, when you see their sales figures, it's clear my taste is questioned by millions, in car looks that is. But I digress.The gas-electric hybrid Toyota Prius is the "right" environmental choice, but I have to admit it actually looks good to these eyes, which is exactly how this thing got started.E-mail your choice for the coolest car on the road to

Please include day and evening phone numbers.I'm offering up my limited-edition Porsche Calendar as a prize and the winner will be drawn from all submissions.I thought it was funny when he wrote "...
