Dangit, I searched for it and didnt find anything
Okay, i think I just got everything wrong. I believe the wagon I was trying to find was the 1500 wagon. Forgive my; I was inspecting one which was owned by a feinds grandfather which was in a state of direpair and was missing any and all badging.
Some places it seems to be referred to as the Luce, some places the 1800, some places the 1500. All i know is it is supposed to look like this:

Mazda 1500 is not an actual name of a car. I am assuming you are referring to either to the first or second-gen Mazda Luce.Dangit, I searched for it and didnt find anything

Read the edited part of my last post: again, sorry. I suck
EDIT: okay so it appears that this explains some things.
So what I was trying to nominate was the Mk1 Luce Estate.

Gotcha. So I’m assuming you’re nominating the wagon variant of this first-gen Mazda Luce then? If so, I’ll add that to the queue.Read the edited part of my last post: again, sorry. I suck

I apologize for there being no poll yesterday, as I had a 102-degree fever and spent most of the day in bed. Today's poll, as well as yesterdays, will be up shortly.

Wait, nobody has nominated Mazda's bubble-era battle barge yet? I'll do the honors, then.
The JC series Cosmo set several firsts in automotive history. Its 13B-RE and 20B-REW engines were the first Japanese built, series production twin sequential turbo systems to be offered for sale on a rotary engined car. The internationally known FD series RX-7 didn't receive the twin turbo 13B-REW engine until early 1992. The Eunos Cosmo was the first production car to have a built-in GPS navigation system, and the first in Japan to use the "Palmnet" serial data communication system for ECU-to-ECAT operation. It was ahead of its time electronically as well by being offered with Car Control System, a CRT colour touch-screen controlling climate control, mobile phone, GPS car navigation, NTSC TV, radio and CD player.
The Cosmo was speed limited to 180 km/h (112 mph) to suit Japanese regulations, but the 20B-REW version was capable of 255 km/h (158 mph) if given a free run. With over 380 N⋅m (280 lb⋅ft) of torque available at just 1800 RPM, the Cosmo could launch from standstill to freeway speeds quickly; however, this came at the expense of heavy fuel consumption. The JC Cosmo was expensive even by today's standards, as Mazda still has not matched the sales price of this car some 22 years later for anything else in its range.
The Cosmo was manufactured from February 1990 until September 1995, and gathered a total of 8,875 sales. A split of 60/40 sales between 13B-REW and 20B-REW variants made the triple rotor 20B-REW version a rarer car.
1990-1996 Mazda Eunos Cosmo (JCES)
Engine: 1,962cc 3-rotor sequential twin-turbo 20B-REW
Power: 276 HP (official)
Torque: 280 lb⋅ft
Weight: 1,490 kg (3,285 lb) – 1,640 kg
Drivetrain: front-engine, rear-wheel drive
Transmission: electronically controlled 4-speed automatic
The last incarnation of the Cosmo was introduced as the flagship of the Eunos brand in March 1990, right at the time the Nikkei bubble burst. Plans to introduce it to the American market were subsequently scrapped. It was available with two engines (the twin turbo 13B-RE and the 20B-REW) and two levels of trim specification (The sport Type-S, the luxury Type-E).

I seriously can't believe that this car has not been nominated before now.
Ferrari 250 California Spyder
1957-1963
Body Style: Two door convertible, with either a soft or hard top. Also came in LWB and SWB variants.
Engine: 3.0L V12
Power: 240hp
Transmission: 4-speed manual
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive
Additional Information: One of the most desirabe and attractive cars that Ferrari has ever produced. 106 cars were built, 50 long wheelbase models and 56 short wheelbase models. Despite being intended for road use only, a handful did see some time on the track in official sanctioned events - chassis 1451GT scored a 5th overall and 3rd in class at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, chassis 1603GT scored the same results at the 1960 12 Hours of Sebring and chassis 2015GT suffered a DNF at the 1961 24 Hours of Le Mans while running 11th overall late in the race.

How 'bout this one?
2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice GXP
Engine: 2.0L Ecotec LNF turbo I4
Power: 260PS (can reach up to 294PS)
Torque: 260 lb•ft (can reach up to 340 lb•ft)
Drive train: FR
Transmission: 5-speed MT/5-speed AT
Engine: 2.0L Ecotec LNF turbo I4
Power: 260PS (can reach up to 294PS)
Torque: 260 lb•ft (can reach up to 340 lb•ft)
Drive train: FR
Transmission: 5-speed MT/5-speed AT
From Wikipedia: According to pontiac.com, the GXP goes 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in under 5.5 seconds. A significant increase over the 2.4 Liter versions 0-60 mph (97 km/h) of 7.0 seconds.
Other GXP features include standard Stabilitrak traction control, a limited-slip differential, and anti-lock brakes. Summer tires on 18 inch wheels are standard. An available dealer installed option was a modified computer tune and two new sensors that resulted in an increased output to 290 bhp (216 kW; 294 PS) and 340 lb⋅ft (461 N⋅m), further enhancing the performance of the GXP model.

It's not exact, but putting up my second nomination now will make my two noms about equally spaced out. Here's a small 70-hp fiberglass sports car from the 50s. British? Japanese? Italian? No...

Power: 70 hp
Torque: 81 lb-ft
Weight: 850 kg
Transmission: 3-speed manual
Drivetrain: FR
Country: Sweden
Additional Info: Volvo's first attempt at a sports car - Fiberglass body inspired by the Corvette - Only 68 ever produced, very few remain accounted for - Fit and finish known to not be up to the Volvo standard by period accounts

2017 - Present Hyundai Elantra Sport
Engine: 1.6 Litre Turbocharged Inline 4
Power: 201 HP
Weight: 1350 - 1420 Kilograms
Transmission: 7-Speed Dual Clutch, 6-Speed Manual
Drivetrain: Front Engine, Front-Wheel Drive
Body Style: 4-door Sedan
Additional Information:
Introduced in the 2017 model year, the Hyundai Elantra Sport picks up where the outgoing model's Sport trim left off. The car features numerous visual distinctions from the standard model, including a helping of "ground-effects", black trim and a dual-tipped exhaust. This isn't just all show though, the front brakes have been enlarged, the rear suspension has been swapped for a multi-link setup, 18-inch alloys have been added, the front stabilizer bar has been enlarged and the steering rack has been tightened up. These translate to a much sportier feel for a base model. The Elantra Sport could just be the perfect car for someone looking for a little spice, without committing to a full-on performance model.

Nothing wrong with new cars. There are a lot of new cars that came out after the CW went away a few years ago that need to be polled.
