1st gen Saturn. Guessing an SC, but wouldn’t bet my life on it.
1989 Olds Omega
70s Honda Civic?
1st gen honda prelude? or maybe an accord.
Now i’m having second thoughts. 1982 honda civic? I’m pretty sure it was offered in that shade of blue.
Not a first-gen Saturn. I might have guessed second gen, but the photo above it on the home page (the piston slap about tires) shows it’s not that either.
early Corolla
I stand by my guess:

You picked an 80’s car.
GM FWD A-Body
2nd Gen. Dodge Stratus.
At first I agreed with Thirty-Three, but upon further examination, I think there’s too much curvature to the panel to be a 82 Civic.
Saturn S series…First Gen. I have seen that view at the gas station for the past 10 years. Can’t tell if its an SL ow SW. I even remember the color from my days as a saturn detailer. It is not an SC…no flared fenders on the coupes.
If I remember, second gens had a square fuel door.
I was going to say GM J-car (Buick Skyhawk or Pontiac Sunbird, maybe?) but the fuel door was on the passenger side on those. So, I’ll go with the A-body. Pontiac 6000 STE?
1982 Chevrolet Celebrity; they had cavernous fender flares that looked completely retarded with standard 13in rims. Gas doors were round, if you just give me a little more of it I can see if it has the finger dent. But then that wouldn’t be fair.
It’s NOT a Tucker Torpedo.
Hope that helps the herd.
I doubt that it’s anything from GM. The gap around the fuel door is too small.

How much is too small? In millimeters please.
I’ve seen those cars and is about 5 mm, which for the time (80’s) is perfectly acceptable.
I’ve seen 80’s 300E Mercedes with 6+ mm panel gaps. Toyotas with misaligned doors, Audi Q7 with misaligned doors…
I agree with Stingray on this — a 80’s GM A-Body. However, I’ll go out on a limb and say a Pontiac 6000, just because…….
Cavalier.
@Stingray
Relax, don’t take anything I say too seriously. The gap around the fuel door of the Civic (linked picture) is larger than the one in the clue picture :)
I saw a BMW 5-series last week with a gap around the bottom of the trunk lid large enough for me to stick my thumb into.
