The Cosmo is an example of a car that had the right upbringing. Learning from the mistakes of NSU's own Wankel engines (not being tested properly prior to their release), Mazda made sure they really prepared the Cosmo to take on all roads and mileages. It is very good-looking, it doesn't have the tuner vibe that affects the RX-7, and it has also starred in Ultraman. Sure, Ultraman is a bit cheesy, but hey, it's legendary stuff in Japan.

Oh, and it also survived a 72-hour (!!!) endurance race in Nurburgring. If it can finish that, it can finish anything. Get the fridge, it's sub-zero to me.

I love classic carsfrom the 50's, 60'sand 70's and this is no exception. High Cool
 
The first rotary-powered car, and no reason at all that it would be uncool.

Sub-Zero.
 
Sometimes I truly wonder if these polls are for trolling or what.

But just sometimes.

Aside from the L10A's shorter wheelbase and exaggerated rear overhang nearly ruining the profile, the early Cosmo models are absolute stunners.

SZ.
 
The proper birth of a rotary engine working in cars, absolutely STUNNING looks, and was able to survive 72 Hours around the Nurburgring.

It's EASILY Sub-Zero.
 
Just wonderful. Way cooler than any other Mazda and managed to steer itself away from the rotary fanboys that are glued when you hear "Mazda"

Sub-Zero
 
It's ok I guess, but plenty of other cars from that time period I would rather have. Plus not a fan of rotaries.

Wanted to vote meh, but fat fingered it and hit uncool by mistake.

Seriously missing a Bellet there.

Bellett comes behind the three I posted already and the Isuzu 117 Coupe; and just ahead of the Toyota 2000GT, the Honda Beat, the Toyota 800 Sports, the Autozam AZ-1, the Honda S800 Coupe and the original Zed.
