Yeah, that's Left Eye, Chili and T-Boz of '90s rap/pop sensation TLC. It's the album cover of their sophomore effort, CrazySexyCool. I happened to catch a song off this album a while back on satellite radio. The title's supposed to reflect the women's different personalities (presumably, Left Eye was the crazy one, Chili was the sexy one and T-Bozwas the cool one).
Got me to thinking about the different personalities of cars, or at least our perceptions of them. So here you have it. My Crazy Sexy Cool Car list. After you've checked mine out, grace us with your very own picks for Crazy, Sexy and Cool, won't you?
Crazy
2010 Rolls Royce Ghost
This is crazy like "mind-blowing," not crazy like Old Man Toby who eats spray cheese and 
grass sandwiches. Rolls Royce's latest new creation is nuts because it's luxurious with a capital LUX. Ultra-plush floor mats with pile so thick that you could lose a newborn in them. "Coach-style" rear doors (think suicide doors, but much, much less death-oriented) that the rear passengers operate via a push button inside the cabin. Interior silence that screams "I cost nearly $300,000!" in a staid British accent. It's bonkers.
Sexy
2009 Aston Martin DBS
I don't think a lot needs to be said about sexy. You either feel it or you don't. The shapely 
form of the Aston Martin DBS compels me to run my hands over it and leer at it. I'm powerless to stop myself. Do you think it likes me?
Cool
2010 Dodge Challenger
We have a Challenger in our long-term fleet. I don't enjoy driving it. My kid's car seat doesn't 
fit easily in it. I can't really see out of it very well. Its shifter hates me because I drive like the grandma I will some day be. But it looks damn cool, especially in black. You're cool, Challenger.
Hate my picks? Then get your own! And share 'em with us in the comments.

different interpretations of the words-
Crazy= Ariel Atom.
It's raining, you are driving this on the 405. Yeah, it's crazy.
Sexy=Lamborghini Revention
Just about any Italian supercar is a supermodel. I picked Giselle over Bianca, but could be any.
Cool=RR Phantom 'vert
Ok, I saw Latifah driving hers. Top down, music pumpin'. She was the definition of 'Cool".

Bryn: This is my favorite Edmunds post in a long time. Tell the bosses you'll take that raise now.
Mark Takahashi nailed it. Although I definitely think the Challenger is cool, you can't argue with the Lincoln. And it turns out that my dad and I independently decided on the Maserati as our "Lottery car".
