It initially contained just the DB9, but was eventually joined by the Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the seventh series. At the other end of the scale, James May's car - the Fiat Panda - was placed several meters to the left of the "uncool" side, on a banner at the back of the hangar.

| - In the first episode of series four, a separate fridge section, on a table to the right of the board, was introduced after Jeremy declared that the Aston Martin DB9 was too cool even to be classified as "Sub-Zero". It initially contained just the DB9, but was eventually joined by the Aston Martin V8 Vantage in the seventh series. At the other end of the scale, James May's car - the Fiat Panda - was placed several meters to the left of the "uncool" side, on a banner at the back of the hangar. This was partly due to an acknowledged rule by the presenters that cars owned by themselves cannot be considered cool. In series nine, Clarkson was forced to place the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder in the Uncool section because he had just bought one. He then revealed that he had sold his Ford GT, allowing him to move the car back into the Sub-Zero section. On Series 8 Episode 3, the Koenigsegg CCX was the first supercar to be deemed "Cool", because of its scariness and danger factor. The Lotus Exige S was declared "Uncool" because of a man in shorts liking it; the Proton Savvy was also deemed "Uncool" due to its name. The Nissan Micra C+C was deemed almost too uncool for the wall (it was hanging off the edge of the "Seriously Uncool" section). The Jaguar XK was also deemed "Uncool" because of the game of golf, which influenced the car's performance (in Clarkson's view). Clarkson afterwards said: "It's also pissing off our director, who's just bought one!"
