It’s coming, it’s all under control.
By the way, my lore is still only in the early 90s, so I might jump out of this competition… I rather make some well thought out cars in a slow pace than rushed jobs just to manage to finish this. We’ll see if I have any car produced in 1999 ready when it’s time for that.

Low effort ad but too busy recently to come up with decent stuff.
Also, fitting for the car’s back story.

The year was 1994 just one year away from the arrival of the all-new NRZ-996 and NR/Exestis coupes. But the lineup was strong with a recently Celento leading the charge. The previous NRZ-986 finally arriving in the US proved to be a modest success but still struggled in an overcrowded sports car market.
Success for Maesima still rested on its humble Celento, the sedan and wagon continued to impress critics with its outstanding value proposition and safety package. Its low maintain prices and competitive warranties secured it a safe niche in the market. However, the old carburettored 2v SOHC MCO-engines was showing its age (dating back to a 60s inline six MCP-engines) failing to keep up with rising fuel economy standards. Thankfully for David R. Clark and his US division the new 4v SOHC MCG-engine was introduced in 1990 released with the refreshed UF10 series II Celento in 1991. Addressing many of the criticisms of the old model regarding its poor fuel economy and changes to its suspension setup regarding comfort.
Following the controversy in the ASCAR, Maesima would fail to achieve similar motoring success following the departure of UK firm Armada from their US racing operations. Instead, the company had pushed further resources into its Worldsports Car championship from 1985-1993. Along with its Rally efforts, while its Group-B Maesima Sport team with the NRZ-976R failed to achieve much success in its short four years. The effort was productive to the development of a four-wheel drive system and all new rally vehicle based on the NRZ-986. Due to the cancelling of Group-B, the efforts were refocused into the Group-A with the Maesima Sport team proving more successful nearly winning the brutal Safari Rally in 1987. However, the company struggled to promote its motorsports efforts which weren’t as widely known in the US market. They did help the companies image in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The first gen Scarlet had been a stonking success for Erin, putting them back where they most comfortable; in the sports car market. As a wave of other sports coupes arrived on the market in the latter half of the decade, a follow up to Erin’s halo began to be designed.
Launched in 1991, the Mk II Scarlet was more of a revolution rather than an evolution. Much of the chassis remained the same, but the styling was updated to be cleaner, as well as featuring a distinctive strip tail light. Under the bonnet, Erin’s NewSeries V8 was enlargened from 3.6 to 3.8l, which, combined with a complete overhaul of intake and injectors, meant it could produce 303 hp.
The top of the range XTune trim on which this new larger engine was made far more distinct from the softer entry-level S trim. This included much sharper suspension and less weight thanks to the removal of the +2 configuration. The results: 0-60 in 5.0 seconds and a top speed of 159 mph, making the Mk II a proper supercar killer.
This sharper feel, however, also made this the least “drivers car-esque” variant of the Scarlet, something which did receive criticism from the press at the time. That said, it’s now regarded as its most distinct feature for buyers today, who will be looking to pay at least £40k for a model in condition.

1993 was the peak of Japan’s bubble economy, and the Auriga was proof of such economic growth.
The Auriga was re-born in 1993 as a pseudo-luxury sedan with high-quality interior parts and a focus on comfort. It performed well in testing, and was popular in the US as many other Japanese automakers had moved upmarket, with Korean and Antikatian brands slotting into the budget sector below Japan.
Here is an ad for the 1993 Kimura Auriga LXi.
