Popular automobile † [DEAD]

The in-depth reviews are exclusively for cars selled from 1970 to 1979. The close encounters section is for concept or future cars up to 1984. And I’m planning on doing an special review per issue for cars that don’t especifically fit into those categories, or cars with an especial history or that are benchmarks for the history of a company, in this issue I’ll review the communitasia. So, yeah, I guess that car could fit into that special category.

Time for the new review, this time, is the thecarlover’s Jetstream, for the close encounters section.
Now, I will also place ads in the magazine, because I need something to fit the extra espace :laughing: so feel free to send me a pm with an ad.
For this review (since I’m to lazy to create an ad) I placed an Evgenis add I saw in cheeseman thread, I hope it won’t be a problem, tho :blush: :blush:

That looks great :smiley: It’s true that while the original Jetstream was a sporty family sedan, this one is more sleek than powerful. Which is why within 1 year of production a turbocharged model was introduced for improved performance (but the concept is before all that).

Pretty awesome work both on text and those photoshops. Nice

Great work as usual! I like how you also analyze the purpose of the car and not simply cold performance figures.

Next review is up!
1977 KHT Keimola
By the way, I changed a little bit the value/cost calculations, and updated the first review. Also I forgot to specify that all the numbers and figures are from the current stable build.

Looks cool! Can’t wait for more reviews, and magazines :smiley:

Oh GOD them popups, them louvres, and dat engine view! :smiley: Yeah, that review sounds about right, although I did expect it to burn down or throw a rod mid testing. :sunglasses: The car is a disaster made with good intentions :smiley: Good read and cool photoshops. I didn’t bother much making my company thread presentation of the thing look cool, but you made it look at least desirable for a bedroom poster

Also you’re getting seriously good at photoshops, nice!

I don’t feel like I’m getting better at it, but definitely I’m getting faster!

Next will be the comparision between the Mercury, the Combat and the Comprida!

Mine also has a tendency to explode or at least get engulfed in flames on a random basis. So yeah, my Keimola is totally cooler than your cars :smiley:

It’s hard to make a car that is worse than yours XDD

I somewhat pride myself with making shitty cars. I’ve probably collected as many wooden spoons as Bogliq by now :stuck_out_tongue:

I love the design and layouts of your magazine. Excellent work!

Very impressive, I like that the presentation is consistent with the time period. Reviews have come a long way on this forum!

Cooler…or hotter? :wink:

Thanks, I actually spend quite a bit in the layout (even tho is quite simple)

Thank you, coming from the first automation magazine editor in chief that means a lot :smiley:

Now, onto the comparision… I was supposed to post it last sunday, but I haven’t be particularly motivated these last days, I spend all this time re-watching Game of Thrones instead. Anyways, here it is :smiley:

Fantastic review and fantastic pictures! I love it! :smiley:
Thank you so much for reviewing my car. You have done an exceedingly good job at writing this up.

Thanks for review!
Mercury with it’s high price tag in late 70s and practically whole 80s was flagship supercar from my company. I’m surprised that it wasn’t classified like if would be Vri’s car.
Would you want something in 80s magazines? XD
