What do the girls think of automanual transmission?
Your interiors are very good, much better than mine.
But what is this?
Clutch? Brake?
Either way, it’s very funny being so big! 
It looks like something you make pastries with. 
But besides that, fun vehicle, very good interior.
It’s a snowplow for clearing it out of the driveway
part of the winter-weather package :P
2004 Pleiades Sonora
Combining the interior practicality of a midsize sedan with the utility of a small pick-up truck and the off-track capability of a rally car, the new Pleiades Sonora trailblazes a new segment. Being based on the Legend sedan, rear legroom is impressive, or, with the seats and CenterGate folded down, it offers a two-metre long cargo area - perfect for skiis, snowboards or surfboards, thus making the Sonora the perfect lifestyle vehicle. With Pleiades’ Smart Viscous AWD system, it can go pretty much anywhere you want it to go, and come back. A turbocharged boxer engine produces 230 hp, going through either a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual gearbox.

Its written in the brief, automatics are preffered, and I have one too
@Snarklz Brake pedal. Car with four cylinder had none in lore, and I changed the fixture without resizing which might have been a good idea.
It should be a very safe vehicle, a lot of space available for panic braking.
I also appreciate that we used the same tail lights. They are very cute, they give me a very Addidas vibe.
There is not a large amount of taillights going well with that body, and since it reminded me of a GLK I thought an Italian version of it might use these as well.
The 2.0 wasnt planned to have an A/T but well, why not if the two ladies prefer one, CSR doesn´t need to follow lore a 100 percent but yes, resizing them might have been even better. On the other hand, this is a game and I guess such goofs are tolerable if the general interior looks realistic and convincing.
Yes but automanual is essentially a manual without clutch. Will that also require some additional driving lessons?
Well, that`s something only the host can clarify. In the end, the clutch is the most complex about driving a manual.

Avus History
Avus was founded in 1906 on the outskirts of Berlin, setting out to join the automotive boom that was taking place. This was after the founder, Alexander Avus, finally bit the bullet and dedicated his life to his passion in engineering. Avus, who was only 17 at the time, however didn’t start out making production cars, rather set his sights on racing. Having won a lot in Europe, he eventually decided in 1912 to dedicate his newfound wealth and knowledge into making mass market cars, finding his first model, Avus Modell 1, to be a massive success. The 1.1L i4 produced 17hp reliably, and his cars instantly gained popularity to those needing to drive longer distances. Over course of the next two years, he saw great success, especially after releasing his second car, Avus Modell 1B, which was a revised variant of his first car. This time also giving the costumers the option of 2 engines, the original 1.1L was revised to make 19hp, and another 0.8L eco variant was made with 13hp.
Soon after the release of the Modell 1B, WW1 began, and his cars were completely reengineered to fit the needs of the military. His cars once again found great success due to their reliability and dependability even on the roughest of terrains. Over the course of the war, he found himself with more wealth than anyone else in the country, so he began development on different truck platforms to aid the army. In early 1917, he released the Modell G1, G1B and G2. These 3 trucks were influential in keeping the German powers alive throughout 1917, however it wasnt enough. After the loss of the war, his now completely militarised vehicles were once again revised to aid the rebuild effort of Europe.
In 1923, Avus eventually was able to release new models. the Modell 2, G2B and G3. With new technologies, his vehicles were once again ahead of his competitors and slowly Avus regained their market share. People loved his vehicles, all of which were commended on their reliability and dependability. During the 1920s & 30s, Avus continued to work on their vehicles, but soon WW2 began.
During WW2, Avus had no choice but to design and build military trucks and vehicles to aid the German power. During this time, the vehicles that left their factories were nothing short of extraordinary, featuring technologies which wasn’t seen until over 50 years later. This meant Avus continued to be contracted to build vehicles for the German Military and it meant it could survive.
After the war, Avus fell into the eastern side of Germany. Under the rule of the Soviet Union, Avus was stripped back. Though their technological advancements were ground-breaking, they were forbidden to use any of them, and so through the next 40 years, Avus never made anything innovative instead being forced to share platforms with other Soviet manufactures.
In 1987, Avus began design on a new car. Having seen western cars, the Soviets decided to somewhat modernise their brands, and Avus was chosen design a new rear engined, 5 seater family car that was cheap yet reliable. This proved to be nearly fatal to the brand, as once the wall fell in Germany in 1989, they were left with 30 year old designs and project that was destined for failure.
Avus, having quickly realised this, looked for a parent company and no more than 3 months later, French manufacturer Toussant seized the opportunity to expand their portfolio. Having seen the current state of affairs, Toussant helped with the engineering of the rear engined passenger car, seeing that there may be hope for it. Once completed in 1991, the R50, R70 & R85 went onto the market, the most expensive model being $4990 (Automation Dollars) and instantly gained attention from those who needed a cheap car. The itself however was terrible, and in 1995, they had to end production due to lack of sales. During this time, Toussant gave Avus their platforms, promising success with them.
Soon they saw success with these cars, and now its 2004 and Avus releases their first inhouse designed car since 1933 and it promises to be a segment leading car in the midsize standard and premium segment, however, only time will tell.
This car would be perfect for Amika and Svetlana, though yes it isnt the most outrageously styled car, it fits every single one of their needs. Its reliable and is very good to drive due to all the systems, which also makes it increadible value for money. Its a big, safe car meaning its very practical yet it is still very fuel efficient, despite running just 95 RON! Its very capable on road and off-road, and will do conquer anything in comfort due its advanced suspension, plush fabric & leather interior and smooth engine! It may be at the top end of their price range, however you a lot for the money and it will last them a very long time!

Cute, Comfortable, Cheap
The Advia is Uyemura’s simpler option for a midsize, capable vehicle. Today, we are looking at a middle-trim option, the one we at Auto and Operator consider to be the best bang for your buck in their lineup.
While its length, around 4.1m, provides ample storage and space, it does not make the car too unwieldy in cities. It’s not exactly agile, but the turning radius is good and visibility out of the greenhouse is excellent.
For an open-diff, front-wheel-drive automatic, the Advia proves itself fairly competent offroad. It’s nothing to write home about, but the car isn’t going to get stuck unless you find yourself crawling through mud. If you do, the modern safety features mean that you can rest assured, nothing bad will happen.
Where it is more at home is on the highway. Despite the ES being equipped with a 2.8L V6 supplying 170 horsepower, the Advia manages a respectable 7.7L/100km overall. It also comes standard with a 4-speed automatic transmission, making that number a little less disappointing.
What is not disappointing is the performance. While the Advia is no sports car, you do not compromise your enjoyment just to have the reliability, safety, and comfort you know from Uyemura. The V6 propels the Advia to 60 MPH in 7.7 seconds, making us wonder if all these sevens mean something. It also gives the car plenty of power for overtaking, and the long gearing makes for quiet highway cruising.
As far as looks go, it’s not the worst thing we’ve ever seen from Uyemura. Perhaps a little bit more time in the oven would have helped, but overall, we’re still confident that the Advia ES will provide plenty of people with affordable, comfortable, safe transportation.
