there seems to be one company - or rather one marque of the no-longer profitable Toyota Motor Corp - that is still “cool:” Scion. Personally, I find their cars pretty ugly and they’re not fun to drive (I’ve rented the xB a few times through Zipcar). Perhaps their only redeeming quality in my eyes is that ?uestlove drives one. But their owners’ fanaticism brings to mind Marx’s famous quip about Ideology “They do not know it, but they are doing it.”
