CSR 141- Corporate Schmorporate (Winner announced, finals out)

A few more questions:

Should ESC be made mandatory? Is there a trim and/or engine PU limit, and if not, why not? And are liftbacks allowed?

And as of now, I have just made a test car for my potential entry. It’s a FWD sedan with a standard interior and infotainment system, built on a 2.8m wheelbase and powered by a 200bhp 1.6L turbo I4 - in other words, a mass-market mid-sized/D-segment Accord/Camry rival. It’s very close to the limit in terms of engine/trim ET and price, but gets good stats in many criteria. To be fair, I also made a sub-$22k compact hatchback as a backup plan (enough for the company to procure seven examples instead of the required five), but I fear it may be too much of a budget option for the client’s taste.

To answer your questions;

  • Yeah, ESC should be required. I’ll add that to the OP.

  • I’m not adding a PU limit because I don’t really see a reason to.

  • To answer your earlier question on prestige, these are affordable base to mid-level cars. They wouldn’t be very prestigious anyways, so there’s no real incentive in judging prestige.

  • As for liftbacks, use your best judgement.

As for this, I’m judging service costs, not if the engine layouts are different.

I have to ask, will interiors be judged or not? Personally I tend to struggle with interiors atm and would feel more comfortable entering If I know I won’t be marked down for not including one. I did cobble one together last round but I wasn’t happy with it even at the point of entry

A simple design is a reliable design, that’ll still work perfectly 50 years from now.
A simple design is a cost effective design, that’s both cheap to buy and cheap to run.

Judging from your stated needs, we think our mid-tier wagon would suit your company best; equipped with an automatic transmission, alloy wheels, and an upgraded interior, the Armada wagon provides an unrivaled combination of practicality, reliability, drivability and fuel economy.


BAZARD
It works.

Note: Due to the unpopularity of wagon body styles in the US, 2018 is the last year for open availability of the Armada’s wagon variant in the country. Starting next year, Armada Wagons will only be available for preorder, and will resultingly incur additional cost. We will continue to do our best to make the Armada Wagon as accessible and fair-priced as we can for those who still appreciate and enjoy this body style.
