The turbo badge on a naturally-aspirated vehicle is worth…some horsepower, right? It’s fast as hell definitely, but it really kinda misses the mark, not the least of which because it’s so fast that it’s basically undriveable. The design is simple, and the colour scheme is a bit…garish, to say the least. Not bad for a first car, but in comparison with the rest, it doesn’t quite stack up.

My goodness this is…something. It’s nice to see people embracing the various trim description commands we’ve included in Automation! Unfortunately, this one doesn’t get particularly high marks for how it drives; the skinny tires brings that slippy, slidey winter driving sensation to dry pavement at all times, and…is that a cannon on the back?

It’s a van alright…and a bit of a silly one at that! Inspired by a real-world minivan (we’ll leave it to your imagination which one), this one spares no expense in the go-fast parts, it seems, except…where it actually counts! It drives reasonably well, but it writes a cheque with its appearance that its performance can’t cash otherwise. Not particularly holiday-themed either.

Lots of stuff going on with this one. Great use of the trim description commands and some tasteful modding done to the base Automation car, and a wide array of holiday-themed trims! The performance is a bit scary…the suspension tuning in particular will give us nightmares for a long time! A reasonably good effort, all things considered!
