Well, the thing is, it is pretty much a game of making the number high. Sportiness may be counted since it is a “new millenium” esque car, but obviously not as much at all. Comfort and drivability will be counted separately if that’s what you’re asking.
The reason why I didnt want to include a priorities list is because I’d like to see some variety in what people make, and yes, variety is gonna be a factor. How big, who knows. I’d like for people to decide themselves what is the most important (besides luxury, of course) for a bit of mystery… thought it would be fun!
It’s still in rules deliberation, isn’t it? I’ll submit when the rules are set
No, the challenge started on the 2nd.
I’ll send it tomorrow
“alright, boss, hear me out, we are going to 2000s, it’s Y2K as these kids call it. and we are already in hot waters… we need younger buyers, so here’s what i got ready. We call it the Baller! why? I heard one of the rappers say it when i was doing research on what young people like. We take a compact car chassis, from our sister companies, we buy a turbo engine contract, and bam, we advertise a compact luxury sport sedan for the youth. Trust me, only thing that can ruin this, is a big hit to all markets, but that wont happen right?”

In the us vinyl is often seen as an upgrade from base cloth as a psedo-leather in standard market cars
More common in the 60s-80s than the 90s but yea
I was wondering whether we could put things that use techpool points due to the mandatory +5 is used. for example, if I use a part that uses 2 techpool points, will the car be binned?
No. Just keep all the techpool allocations at +5 (the default settings) - there are no restrictions on what technologies you can use.
Background
DCMW’s present-day diversity wasn’t always the case. While the company in its early days dabbled in all manner of odd side projects, special purpose bespoke vehicles, and miscellaneous one-offs, its bread and butter were two four-door model series: the larger and more comfort-oriented Marqaba, and the smaller, more athletic Al-Sayaadim. The latter, at times more properly considered a four-door coupe, eventually evolved into what we nowadays call a Sports Sedan.
1938 Al-Sayaadim
The c.1968-1980 series began as a conventional FR layout, though later models were fitted with DCMW’s then-new all-wheel-drive system featuring a boxer engine mounted just behind the front axle, the crankcase integrated with the front differential housing.
1970
The c.1980-1995 was the first generation specifically designed around this system, which effectively made it an FM4 layout. Better known by its embargo-bypassing rebadge, the Norðwagen Valkyrja, this generation was lauded for its formidable athletic prowess, with motorsports victories to back that up, but was often considered too cramped and compromised to be a luxury car.
1985 (as Nordwagen)
Redesigned from the ground up in 1995, the next generation intended to restore luxury credentials while losing nothing in the way of performance. A minor facelift in 2000 brought a handful of new technologies to the mix.
Equipped with a meaty yet velvet-smooth 387hp turbo flat-six, helical AWD, six forward gear pairs and a clutch pedal, the Al-Sayaadim Superiority Six is meant to be driven and enjoyed. Yet with a proper and amply-sized luxury interior, active comfort suspension, and impeccable mechanical refinement, it doesn’t neglect the passengers, either. Watch them fall asleep, then wonder how you got there so early.

I feel bad for saying this, but in the context of this post, you, as a designer (or design company) are supposed to make a design for a new vehicle that Anniston is going to put out for production.
I’d gladly accept this as a rebadge though! The car looks absolutely amazing.
Derp. So much for my reading comprehension. Uhh… yeah, rebadge. How about DCMW offers this car to be rebadged as an Anniston? We’ll take care of production, just yall slap a badge on it and get some cashflow going?
Per lore, DCMW has a hard time selling in Gasmea under its own brand anyway, and its subsidiary is known mostly for trucks in that market.

Yeah, that was exactly what I was envisioning. And don’t worry about it, the submission is wonderful either way.

Hey does anyone want to design the car I engineered?
