The 2019 Hokuto Levara

Redesigned for 2019, the Levara looks to remake its reputation with an expressive new look and a tauter, more responsive chassis. The classic 2.5L inline-4’s output increases to 201 horsepower, while the famous VE 3.7L V6 offers a lively 300. Each engine pairs to the road with an eight-speed automatic transmission and electronic-LSD and sees fuel-economy gains. An AWD V6 model is rated at 20 mpg combined.

Many active-safety features now come standard, along with a new base-level HUE (Hokuto User Experience) 5.1-inch touchscreen. An 8.5-inch HUE touchscreen is also available, along with the new CentralHUE 12.3-inch gauge cluster screen.

Love the looks, are the headlights halogen? And we also have a 3.7l v6 used in most if our v6 powered cars but puts out 252-290hp

Yes but only because I couldn’t find ones I liked in that spot. I’ll probably try to fix it later!
And yeah, I like the 3.7L displacement. For some reason I like specific displacement and 3.7 sounds nicer to me than 3.6! I like the Ford Cyclone 3.7 engine, lots of torque and great noise.

The Car That Put ‘Aria’ Name On The Map

The 2003 Hokuto Aria SR-AWD

In 1999, Hokuto launched the second generation Aria. At this point, it was still a more family oriented car, known for reliability and practicality. Not many people knew Hokuto for making sporty, affordable family cars at this point. But, now competing with the Maesima Prova, there was a gap in the lineup - and that was soon to be filled.

The facelifted model in 2003 brought a larger turbocharged engine, slicker and shorter geared 5-speed manual and an electronically controlled all-wheel-drive. Zero-to-sixty could be achieved in as fast as 5.5 seconds.

A body kit was added as well, giving a sportier appearence without being vulgar. The famous Ocean Pearl blue color was added to the lineup and has since become a famous hue associated with the Hokuto brand.

I’m getting some serious WRX vibes

Having some fun testing theories today! Seeing if a modern V6 pickup can keep up with an older V8 Farox… turns out its quite a bit quicker until about 130 mph, then the V8 pulls away. Featuring a new Hokuto model possibly maybe? :thinking:

What truck body is that?

It certainly reminds me of a contemporary WRX or STI. And as a first entry into the performance car market for Hokuto, the Axia SR-AWD is very promising indeed.

To ze left, we find the Ford Exploder based Pup, whereas to your right one can spot the Suburbalanche, without wing mirrors for better aerodynamics.

So, I apologize. I had been way to harsh, and I see why it was offensive, my point however, wasn’t shitting on your thread, and being offensive. I am sorry @On3CherryShake. My point was to tell you, it doesn’t make sense to say yours and others’ companies are larger or smaller than others, but I should have said it another way, one that wasn’t so rude of me. Again, I do apologize

What I had said

you make a bunch of bold claims, that aren’t backed up by anything. You say your truck is in the top 5 highest resale of any mass produced vehicle, and you also said this: Hokuto has been one of the world’s largest manufacturers of internal combustion engines since 1971, producing more than 6 million internal combustion engines each year. Hokuto became the fourth-largest Japanese automobile manufacturer in 2001, and was the seventh largest automobile manufacturer in the world behind Daito, ACA, Zenshi, Maesima, Farox and Vega in 2015. which really gets me.

Nobody ever said those are the biggest companies, and it makes no sense to make such far out claims like that.

It makes no sense to say that you are bigger or smaller than another company, especially in something like the Automationverse. You see how people take others saying how their cars are the fastest.

It seems like you are pulling in other user’s companies and claiming their sizes without the consent of those involved. Metrics like “Largest Companies” and “Most Sales” don’t really work in a sphere like the Automationverse. Even with the users who made them’s consent, it still is too much, because of how everything in the Automationverse works, there aren’t treal comparable stats, I cant just say my company is the biggest and best or anything

Nice gratuitous shitting on other people’s threads mate, completely uncalled for and salty to put the icing on the cake. Way to go.

Also:

If I did offend anyone, including the people behind said brands, I’d like to apologize; I’d hate to seem full of myself, and I was only going for realism.

Please feel free to comment or question.
