The Car Shopping Round 65 - On the Case in Diesel City

Just to be clear, we are not looking at desirability? I typically design my cars for maximum driveability, and minimal alarms, but after the official design challenge, I feel a little gunshy about submitting a car that isn’t 100 desirable. That means making some non-sensical sacrifices; for instance, the vehicle I’m working on is most desirable with a 5 speed double clutch. Knowing that 5 speed double clutch likely wouldn’t fly, I would like to know if having a reputable drive train is more important than a desirable one.

Markets are generally ignored.

Usually not needed for a competition like this.

Announcement

Seems there are a few issues with the upcoming beta update, so I will not be waiting for it. The deadline is as listed in the OP and I will accept submissions now.

For those who have submitted early and were told to wait for the update and resubmit, I will use the currently submitted car unless you resubmit before the deadline.

Due to the short notice of this opening of submissions, if for whatever reason you can’t get to your PC in the next 22 and some hours to send me the car, just shoot me a PM and I’ll try my best to come to a reasonable arrangement.

I should also say that I will be postponing the update of my game to write the reviews, so the stats should not change relative to what you send in.
