Damn. They are very close indeed. Only real difference is the weight andā¦hang on a second
ā¦thereās also 10 years separating these two

Hmm. From me it would be Zavir Nova Volante, but Iād have to create it first. Which I might do soon, as I love creating 80s and 90s cars 
The more Erins I see the more I think that Erin and Zavir are perfect competitors - and that if I were to buy an Automation car other than one of mine, it would very probably be Erin 
Really, I love your cars.

Now that I like to hear, canāt say I havenāt thought of that myself either. Especially in more recent times.

Wow, this is great to finally get a good look at the first Scarlet! Loving the style itās perfectly understated but at the same time classic and yet somehow captures a certain elegant British character in its design.
I wonder if the Maesima NRZ-986 (Only have revealed the racing version as of yet.) would of have actually competed with an entry level Scarlet as it does have superior sportiness although that is primarily due to its complete lack of amenities 
Sadly it didnāt find its way to the West until 1992 and Iām not sure the Mk1 Scarlet was still on sale then?
My only suggestion is to include a production period of this model I also wanted to ask what type of popup headlight would this have because Iām picturing a Lotus Esprit type quad circular style setup.
Now I wonder if we will see the mysterious Mk2 Scarlet in the future.

@Rk38 Thank you! 
Iām fairly confident that it would have competed with the S trim at least, though perhaps its realm is more in the low-to-mid range coupe market where the Nasaro is?
Mk 1 Scarlet was in production from 1986 to 1991. Mk 2 came straight after, 1991 to 1996. Then we get the Mk 3 which I need to re-post as that post was lost during the Great Forum Transfer (R.I.P.).
Pop-up headlight wise, it would indeed have been quad circles, to tie it in with the Merna, Visto and Berlose at the time. Also because more lights = more better car right?
As for the Mk 2, yeah, we will at some point. Probably soon. I dunno

Well, the Erin Scarlet is certainly a nice looking car. And performance wise, we donāt really have much in 1986 thatās close.

It was very cheap in markets outside the West (although maybe some fringe areas like Scandinavia, Australia, NZ and possible the UK come to think of it but only extremely limited numbers which would have been more a compeditor to the Nasaro.)
Once it arrived proper it was given a mild facelift, new engine and loaded up as a premium car but by then it would be looking a bit long in the tooth and facing the brand new Scarlet!
Awesome, twin popup headlights definitely suit that design. Although you could also go the NSX style if you wanted rectangular but still circular style.
Well, now Iām really curious to see the Mk 2 Scarlet revealed!

Ah, you shall have to wait. Still deciding on what sort of headlights the Mk 2 should have anyway

Since thereās a gap in 1986 for Cavallera I might as well create a competitor 
ā¦buuuut it wonāt happen until UE.

So, you wanted to see the competition, and here it is 
(although I should have made the less powerful 2.7 trim maybe)

Is it a Rally Car though?

@szafirowy01 Iāve left my comments on your main thread, this gets my approval for competition
@Awildgermanappears Well I mean the Scarlet never entered into rallying, but I like the idea of a rally-origins rival

I reckon that the Albury Crusader Mk1 could be a legitimate rival to the Scarlet Mk 1. It was introduced a full year before the original Scarlet came out, after allā¦

@abg7 Yeah, with those specs, they were certain to rival one another. The Scarlet is lighter, the but the Crusader is more comfortable
I should ask, would the MBS Fenice be worthy competition for the Scarlet Mk 2?
Oooh, I should think so. And soon enough weāll be able to find out just how goodā¦
