The GTP Cool Wall started out as a fun little rip on the same concept from Top Gear, where people voted for cars based on how cool they thought they were. In the years since, it's expanded far past just voting, and into a unique archive of automotive discussion, where a thread can be found for almost any car you could want to read about. And if there isn't a thread for it already out of our 1400+, nominate it yourself! Participation is always welcome!

Thanks to @TheBook, @Tornado, @Joey D, @boiltheocean, @BKGlover, @White & Nerdy, @Jahgee1124, @GranTurismo916, @Wiegert, and @GranTurNismo for being the former proprietors of the GTP Cool Wall. Also, a big thanks to @Joey D again for establishing the clear rules and standards currently in place.
Rules:
- It is appreciated that you post the car's information, but not necessary.
- Only two cars per person until your car has been polled. Once the car is given a polling thread, then you are free to make another suggestion.
- Do not nominate any of the exact same vehicles that have already been polled. I am not responsible for accidental re-polling of cars. It is the nominator's job to make sure that their car has not been polled yet.
- Cars similar to ones already polled must have a significant difference that makes them a separate entity. If your nomination is questioned, I will tag you in a post asking you to defend your nomination, you will have 24 hours from that tag to provide a good enough defence, or you will be knocked from the queue.
- Race cars are now allowed.
- As of May 28th 2016, concept cars, prototypes and pre-production models will not be allowed regardless of functionality (post).
- Modified production models from official performance divisions such as NISMO are allowed. Either as a standalone nomination or part of a nomination that covers the car on which it's based.
- One-off modified/custom models are not allowed. If the car is questionable, I will ask for proof of production.
- Coachbuilds are allowed. These are being defined as a car that uses the unmodified production underpinnings, but has a custom built body.
- A nomination must have different specs, or be different enough visually from a previously polled/nominated car in order to be a valid nomination.
- Only nominations made in this thread will be added to the list, please do not write on my GTP profile, PM me or e-mail suggestions. Doing so will earn you a 1 month ban from nominating cars for the cool wall.
- Get your nomination right the first time.
- If your nomination is correct, it will appear in the nomination queue below shortly after the nomination is made.
- If your nomination is incorrect, I will list off what info you need to correct your post.
- Posts that need fixing will lose their spot in the queue if another nomination is posted between the incorrect nomination and the final correction.
- Cars will be selected in chronological order, so it's first come first served.
- Nominations, rules suggestions, and other directly connected discussion only here. Save debates for the polls.
- Please try and be original.
- Fixed nominations go to the bottom of the queue.
- If including the car's information, use the quotes provided below, replacing what I have put in for your own correct information.
- The Cool Wall curator reserves the right to find a different image than the one the car was nominated with.
- If your nomination is not in the queue, please tag me in a post and include a link to the post that contains your nomination.
- You may change your nomination whenever you want. However, any changed nominations will be pushed to the bottom of the queue.

- Italics means the car is a second nomination made during a special event.
