If it's not a good reason don't do it, I only had that up as an ''IF'' in the first place.

I'd rather not change everything right now, to be honest. Sorry. I'm going to make an official rule now.

EDIT:

You may change your nomination whenever you want, but you must change your nomination within 168 hours (A.K.A. 7 days/one week) to keep your spot on the queue. Any changed nominations after 168 hours will be put on the bottom of the queue.

So if you want to change your nomination, you're going to be on the bottom of the queue again.

Ok, all good.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Ok, all good.

So should I put it on the queue or do you just want to keep the one you already have?

Keep it the way it was originally thanks.

The week where all three of these are polled is going to be a rather uncool week.

Yeah, rather perverse nominations... though the Scoupe, name aside, isn't entirely bad

1967 Hino BRE Samurai

Racing Class: GT racing
Engine: 1293cc tuned Inline 4 engine, taken from the Hino Contessa 1300
Power Output: 110 hp
Torque: TBA
Weight: 1,170 pounds/530 kg
Transmission: 5-speed gearbox
Drivetrain: Mid mounted engine, Rear wheel drive car
Additional Information: Designed by American Peter Brock, who was also involved in the creation of the Shelby Daytona Coupe prototypes. It also has an adjustable rear wing, many years before the Ferrari F40 did. The car attempted to race in the 1967 Japanese Grand Prix (where it hit 220 km/h during practice), but it was disqualified for having a far too low ground clearance.
The Samurai project was then sadly cut short after the death of Hino's president and the purchase of Hino by Toyota, and a planned Le Mans entry never came to fruition.
​

I'm still trying to find information about the torque figures, this car is a tricky one to find info about. This also means that it's hard to verify some of the numbers, but I hope that's not too much of a problem. If someone wants to help me on this, I'll be thankful.

Additional Information: This is the newer, revised, version of the old I6 DB7 (1994 - 1999 version), featuring a new 420 bhp 5.9L engine and more aggressive styling cues.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Nice, nice, the elegant DB7, in one of its best versions (only the GT and the GTA are better than the Vantage/Volante duo).

Also, I know I'm going to get bashed for nominating yet another bland car, but I found this vehicle while researching for info on another car I was going to nominate (the Nissan March Bolero). This might be one of the very first cars of its kind to be polled in the Cool Wall; a rebadged car with almost no badges at all:

2001 Muji Car 1000

​

Body Style: 3-door hatchback
Engine: 1.0 litre CG10DE Inline-4 engine
Power Output: 59 hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 62 lbs·ft @ 4000rpm
Weight: 840 kg
Transmission: 4-speed automatic
Drivetrain: Front engined, front wheel drive.
Additional Information: A collaboration between Japanese retail company Muji, famous for its "no brand" approach to its business of selling retail goods, and Nissan, the Muji Car 1000 is a badgeless and decontented second generation Nissan March/Micra, limited to 1,000 units in 2001. The car, sold exclusively through Muji's online network as a test subject for said system, was a spartan vehicle, sold with basic hubcaps, vinyl-upholstered rear seats and only one choice of engine and transmission. It also followed Henry Ford's idea of one sole body colour as well, since it was only sold in "marble white"...

Not sure if the Muji can compete with the worst that China and Korea have to offer in terms of cars (like the BYD and that awful Korean thing with the unpronounceable name), at least we know that the K11 Micra is a competent car, unlike a badly-made Chinese car for example. Also, it might be so bland, that people will simply give zero sh:censored:s about the car and vote "meh".

Maybe. The K11 March/Micra is alright, if unexciting. I say calling it meh isn't unfair. But I'm sure others will think otherwise, regardless of what car it's based on.
