The second-generation 1986 Kimura Auriga was beginning to get old in the tooth by the mid-90s in spite of international acclaim. After only one overhaul in 1991, it was clear that a new model would need to be shipped out soon. The Kimura MSC Concept hoped to capitalize on the new sports cars that the company rolled out a few years prior whilst also previewing the next-generation Auriga - when the vehicle was revealed at the 1993 Tokyo Motor Show, Kimura claimed that the production version would maintain “at least 75-80% of the concept’s DNA.” A sleek, innovative design was completely new for the vehicle and signaled a new visual language for the Japanese company.
The first Turból designed from the ground up to compete globally in the burgeoning Compact Executive segment, Turból set their sights squarely on competing with the E36 BMW 3-series with the j400. The first j400s, shown in Europe in 1993, featured an aggressive body kit with large, integrated dual exhaust and 17" wheels.
For the 1993 motorshow at London, Baltazar has decided to showcase a view of next-years new generation saloon, the Andromeda. The car is still a concept for now, however it previews the potential look for a new midsize saloon to replace the Basil.
Built on an all-new platform, the Andromeda features all-independent suspension on the four corners, for perfect wheel control, leading to a better driving experience and ride comfort. The body is made of lightweight materials for certain panels, to improve efficiency, including the doors, with a suicide arrangement for the concept. Under the bonnet is Baltazar’s recent 5-cylinder engine, here in 2.6 20-valve form, with 160 hp going to the front wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
This is what, according to the Cossack’s design team, a car will look like in the year 2000, and showcases the potential design and engineering trends Cossack Motors will follow in the future.
The highlights include
All independent suspension
Computerized driver position adjustment, capable of remembering up to 4 driver profiles, each consisting of information about the positions of the driver seat, steering wheel and the mirrors
A new all-aluminium 5 cylinder engine
Speedy, a friendly digital assistant that allows records data from your Cossack onto two floppy discs and allows your computer to analyze it and tell you how you can drive your Cossack safer and more efficiently.
The designers at Clarion were in for a rough week as the London Motorfair was getting ever closer. Long nights at the pub and even longer days at the design studio have paid off though. Clarion proudly presents the Vianta, targeting to make up for the past aesthetic and technical problems with the last generation’s car and catapulting it to the top of the market!
We also hired a new photographer, he says he’s using a Nikon LCV4.1, we have no clue what that means.
Royal Canadian Motors is proud to present the Atlantic Royal Saloon show car to the British public. This car serves as a preview of our new large family car making its way across the pond. The changes will go beyond moving the steering wheel: expect the new Atlantic to feature stylistic changes to better cater it to buyer sensibilities, as well as different equipment levels to make sure the car is suited to British roads.
… aaand were done! Quite a few nice entries, thanks for joining! We have 28 cars in total waiting to be prepared for production. So take a look at Part II please (rules are in OP, too).
I’ll send the private poll for Part I to you in a PM in a few minutes.

With the response from the public in the bag it is now time to finalize the new car for the masses! Find a good balance between the car’s capabilities, practicality and cost. Should it be on the cheap, sporty or prestigious side? It’s your choice. The public will decide about your success in the end. Make sure to stay within the development time frame!
