I’m really loving this new wave of making presentations and showcases look like you’re actually on a car website, and this I have to see is one of the best that have appeared so far (apart from the new Quezon thread presentation) This inspired, enthusiastic and sometimes cheesy lines fit so well into a real-life perspective onto how companies present their vehicles on websites. Although the engine choices do feel quite limited compared to other real-life examples like the Charger/Challenger and Camaro. It makes more sense when you realize that the Corsica company is having financial struggles, so having a big option for engines isn’t very realistic and I love that little detail, and this entire thing makes me feel like I can just go out and actually buy myself a Cheetah right now. Good job, Corsica, because you really hit it out of the ballpark with this one.

The 1980s saw an unprecedented growth for China’s automotive industry, both in importing and exporting. It was during this period that multiple western manufacturers saw an opportunity to expand operations and get more money, striking partnerships with Chinese companies to produce cars locally. These joint-ventures were formed due to both ease of entering the market and certain laws signed in by the Chinese government, targeting local manufacturing in specific.
After the 70’s and continuing to the 80’s, Sisten became an expert at shitting the bed as a company. Fallout from both of the crisis’ with Corsica’s expensive introduction and rollout became two of the largest factors in Sisten attempting to scrape up money in any way humanly possible. CEO Jack Tennant (CEO of the Sisten Motor Company, former neuroscientist) regularly went picking coins out of fountains to fund the new Sisten S1500’s development. It was this period when Tennant also set his eyes on China, an emerging market that would surely love their turds and after negotiations with exactly one company, Sisten found a partner with the Honghu Automotive Corporation, a choice which had obvious reasoning: this would create a chance for Sisten to escape it’s deathbed and for Honghu to produce cars that weren’t exclusively comparable to a burnt cardboard box. Also Innis. Their joint-venture as Honghu-Sisten was formally signed into agreement on July 6th, 1985 with their first factory in Wuhan, Hubei opening just six months later where the venture’s first vehicle, a reworked Sisten Trebla, would then begin production.
The 1994 Auto Policy was established a so called “50% + 2” rule, which “were considered as a necessary policy to buy local automakers time to gain the skills, master the technology and build the brands to allow them to compete before international automakers would be unfettered access to the China market.” Those sure are some words lined up to resemble and English-language sentence. This forced Sisten to give up its majority in the joint-venture as both companies now held 50% investments.
2016
SISTENSUNBURST
The third generation Sisten Sunburst was launched at the 2016 Shanghai Auto Show as a budget compact sedan exclusive to the Chinese market. Slotting between the Arena and Avansar hatchbacks and below the Astem sedan, the Sunburst starts at ¥82,900 or around $12,700.
Mechanically, it’s underpinnings lie on Sisten’s Rocoto platform which it shares with Sisten Avansar and Taluvec Avigate. While all three share the front MacPherson Strut suspension layout, Sunburst utilizes a different semi-trailing arm rear suspension design as a cost-cutting measure and does not receive the 2.0 liter Ecotron engine, instead being optioned with either a 1.2 Ecopower 3-cylinder or the 1.8 Teuro 4-cylinder. Despite being mechanically more akin to the 2011 3rd generation model, multiple body panels are shared with the 4th generation Avansar hatchback, launched around Europe and in the US in 2019.
The 2016 Sunburst reuses the name of an unrelated compact sedan sold by Sisten in North America between 1981 and 1991 across two generations, despite these models having no name recognition or importance in the Chinese market.
Just one engine is available with two variants: the base 1.2 liter 3-cylinder EcoPower generates 78 horsepower, gets over 40MPG and has acceleration comparable to a glacier. The turbocharged version gets a boost to 100HP and 90 lb-ft of those torque stuffs, fuel economy stays at around 41MPG. All models are front-wheel drive and feature a 5-speed manual with a 6-speed automatic available as an option. Got nothing else to type ok byeee

Man, I love the design of the 3rd gen Sunburst. I’d love to turn it into a track monster.
If you want to see some of my designs (Race Cars (Sharing, Commissions..) Suggest your own cars!), I hope that will help to make up your mind 
Anyways let me know!
Above, a TV advert aired around 1985 as part of the Sisten EXC’s launch. “Today’s Excitement”, featured at the end, was Sisten’s tagline from the 80s to the early 90s and was one of the many ideas outlined by the company to bring in a younger, more youthful customer base. To finish it all off, the ad featured a contemporary rock song by some guys who were pretty popular about a decade earlier.

“Damn.”
- Damian Davies
CEO and President of Sisten Motor Company
That went well! As 2020 is closing up, let’s report on the sales of Sisten, Taluvec and Corsica. Now while we are most definitely not looking for anyone to buy SMC out, we also aren’t hoping to continue this “producing-and-selling-cars” thing alone. I repeat: we are not looking for buyers! But please make a bid we’re desperate for money i’m literally begging you if this company goes under then my wife’s going to leave me we can’t handle this virus situation anymore please

Quite a lot of succ for an EV. Cool design, it really looks good, which is quite an achievement with a crossover-liftback (called crossover coupe by blasphemers) body style. Also I love the wide colour choice (unlike many real cars).

Finally, an EV with… Verve? No wonder it lives up to its name! At any rate, and in any color, it deserves some garage space next to a Corsica Cheetah (which would still be reserved for, and better suited to, properly spirited driving) - I just wish some more of its brighter exterior colors (such as lime green or bright yellow) were shared with other Corsicas and Sistens.

Exclusivity is fun. The first five orderers will be entitled to Verve Love Edition - Featuring full equipment options, an exclusive Sunburst Orange finish and specific insignias dedicated to you, the owner. This is for you.
Big, big thank you to the ever so lovely @DoctorNarfy for the EV drivetrain conversion <3
I truly hope everyone still understands that all of this is a simple side project to real-life. Please do not expect me to start rolling these cars out as soon as “the orders” start, it’s all just a simple pastime I’m already lucky enough to take part in. Cheers.

Pre-ordered a Verve as soon as I read I could and I’m looking forward to receiving it 
I promise I’ll be patient…

That offer has finally made the Verve an EV you can love - and it fills you with as much want-one lust as a V8 Cheetah. And this next bit - it’s a godsend for anyone who wants to drive an EV in Beam.
That was for Beam, but I understand that you had to build it in Automation yourself before converting it to Beam - and since Automation does not support electric powertrains, what engine did you use as a placeholder? I suspect it’s something already used in another Corsica/Sisten.

SISTEN|HERITAGE CENTER
1993 SISTEN CS
1993 - 2006
The 90’s! A time of prosperity, hope, and opulence. It was this period during which Sisten exemplified itself as a manufacturer that took the ever-emerging Chinese market seriously. After their initial hook-up the decade prior, Sisten and Honghu were in a healthy relationship going into the 90s with Sisten sharing its seed by providing advanced western technologies to the growing brand and with Honghu making it much easier for Sisten to grow it’s brand… and to allow them to sell their cars in the market in the first place but whatever. Possibly the most important thing to come from the collaboration was the knowledge gained by Honghu, eventually making them confident enough to expand business to western markets. Anyways, the 1993 Sisten CS.
What caused the CS, officially a Sisten STN7181, was a need for an affordable compact sedan for Sisten to sell. Importing the Sunburst, designed for American tastes, was out of the question due to price concerns, so instead they turned to the recently released Honghu GZHD7121 which Sisten definitely had a hand in developing yep of course absolutely.
Changes done were simple and related to the more upmarket image they were going with for the American brand, as to not compete directly with their working partner. The exterior saw few changes, mainly being down to an updated grille and incredibly fancy alloy wheels while under the bonnet, the 1.2 liter engine was replaced by Sisten’s 1.8 “Prince” unit. Speed go up, fuel economy go down. Suspension was tweaked for a softer and more unresponsive ride, the interior received updated seats from the European Torero hatchback.
Both the CS and GZHD7121 ranges received facelifts in 1996. The most substantial update to the CS came in form of the redesigned front end, inspired by other contemporary models and which made the model more easily distinguishable from its stablemate.
Production of the original STN7181 continued until 2006, when it was replaced by the second generation CS, still based on the underpinnings of the original model.
