Why don’t you just wait for the results before complaining. Btw, I can already tell three categories, where that body could sell well in reality: Transport, Family and for example Midsize $$. Maybe even Compact $$, as it is a pretty small car. And if there are 80% estate cars submitted, it is very likely that it will sell well in many categories.
I honestly done see why that body couldn’t win in a big number of categories with the right engine and equipment. There are plenty of very high end estate cars in real life which could be emulated with this body. One of my potential entries is using that body as well, but there are a couple of other kinds of car to try before submitting that one.

Thats not my point. My point is the estate winning because the body gives more utility than the 5 door version even though the 5 door should be better for a compact car.
Obviously if the station wagons submitted are better than a true compact they should win. But it should be easier to win with a true compact then with an estate.
Also the transport category main factor is utility instead of load capacity. Doesn’t make sense because transport should be a 2 seat for more cargo space. Not a 5 seater compact because it has more utility.
But when the results come out I should complain more. Actually I was going to submit the estate body. But since everyone is using it I’m building something for a cat with less competition.

However the estate body it’s not he body with the highest utility

What does not make sense to me is that you are for some reason not counting cargo space as the part of utility. There is a reason utility is not that much of a factor in compact class - while it is nice to have some cargo space and load capacity, cheaper bodies (and having a small body, as in not a longer estate, but a shorter hatchback, definitely helps) are the way to go. This is also the reason why main factor for transport is utility and why a station wagon would have more of it.

I was told by killrob that utility benefits from smaller size.
You see him? Yes, he’s looking at you, because you stole his idea. Now don’t even think about competing with him. And get off his lawn, before he becomes even angrier
I asked because I’m having trouble with breaking even for the market share I am expecting. On the test almost everyone priced their cars too cheap.
And on this one there will be even more entries.
