its 1992 the Stock market is on its way up, windows 3.1 just launched, and times are good. Its time to buy a luxury car and show off to the neighbors. The real question is what to buy, something that is classically styled luxury or a modern style luxury.

My suggestion is to remove or at least loosen the body unlock year regulations…plenty of pre 1982 bodies still viable in 1992, including some of the bodies based on your actual inspirations.
To that end, in addition to allowing for the use of body sets dating back to 1975, you could do the same for body sets as late as 1995. I wouldn’t want anyone to use a legacy body set, though.
94.5in = 2400mm (which is far too small for a contemporary “luxury” car); 157.5in = 4000mm (which is just too long). I’d suggest a more reasonable range of between 104.5in (2654.3mm) and 120in (3048mm) inclusive, to match the measurements of contemporary E- and F- segment cars.
I’d rather require the use of 4-door sedans, for realism’s sake.
That’s premium unleaded - 95 RON is equivalent to 91 AKI.
A minimum target of WES 8 would be more reasonable for the era.
Would it make sense if the absolute maximum price were increased to $50k AMU, with $45k as a soft cap?
I’m assuming this is the sum of engine and trim techpool.
Specifically, it should be 5 full-sized seats (2 in the front row and 3 in the rear row).
I’m not sure it may be enough… A maximum value of 35 may be more acceptable.
good points ill adjust most of the points brought up but want to leave in large size difference and body style open to allow people to offer a diverse entry. A full-size four door sedans are of course the main staple of the market but a van, SUV, or a two door aren’t unheard of.
It would not be. I’ve noticed the tendency in challenges to require very high emission stadards… WES 8 is equivalent to Euro 2 (literally the same values IIRC), which was introduced in 1996. IDK about the US, because they have some nightmarish chaotic mess instead of a nice, easy to understand table for their emission standards.
Myself, I usually go for what the closest region requires in-game at that year. Gasmea for a challenge set in the US, Hetvesia for Northern Europe, Fruinia for southern nd so on.
Would it be possible to increase the maximum techpool budget allowed? If I recall, $25M is less than the default, and some of the inspirations may have had “more techpool than the default”.
1975-1995 body styles are permitted the old rule is circled to show change. if that’s confusing ill just delete it instead. [im clearing it i dont like how it looks now.]
The legacy bodies are bad about not importing well so if they glitch out its out of my control and they’ll be reviewed as they show up in my game.
When people talk about luxury cars, they talk about a Primus Imperator. As comfortable and luxurious than ever, it now adds surprising driving dynamics and a design that screams prestige.
In this case, Primus offers - on the same chassis - the Legacy model line. Intended as a premium car, a well-equipped Legacy will knock at the door of the luxury segment, after all. The same huge interior space, the same good workmanship, the usual PRIMUS quality…
This Legacy 320 is equipped with the newest gadgetery like the POIC - the PRIMUS Onboard Information Center, providing the driver with all possible kinds of useful information, including a selftesto of all electronic components.
The 3.2 liter V6 propells the car foward like a V8, thanks to the alloy body of the Legacy. A car light and nimble, yet safe and reliable. The four-speed automatic will shift like only the best chauffeurs can with a manual. See your Primus dealer for further information and test drives.
New for 1992, the Ryusei GK400 debuted as Ryusei’s flagship model, riding on an entirely new RWD monocoque architecture, sporting a high-strength steel construction, advanced 4-link and 5-link front and rear suspension geometry for improved ride comfort and handling, high-density sound deadening material for a whisper quiet cabin, even at high speeds. Powering all GK400 models was an all-new 4.0L, all-aluminum 32-valve V8, producing 290 horsepower and 295lb-ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed electronically-controlled automatic, sending power to the rear wheels. This advanced powerplant allowed the GK400 to accelerate to 60 miles per hour in just 6.7 seconds, onto an electronically limited top speed of 130 miles per hour. The GK400 is also a testbed for advanced technology, being the first Ryusei model to have driver-selectable air suspension and Skyhook adaptive dampers, radar cruise control capabilities, and GPS navigation.
Shown here is a GK400 painted in Silvergreen Metallic Duotone, with a Sakai Beige and Natural Walnut trim interior, fitted with the Luxury II package (adds adaptive air suspension, GPS navigation, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated compass, radar-based cruise control, soft-close doors and trunklid, 12-way power adjustable heated and massaging front seats with 2-person memory for both the driver and passenger, heated rear outboard seats, an 13-speaker Nakamichi audio system with AM/FM radio, cassette and a 6-CD changer, heated front and rear windshields, and rain-sensing wipers) and the Touring package (extended exterior aluminum trim, 16-inch alloy wheels on wider 225mm tires, and a Touring-specification front fascia design). As shown, this 1992 GK400 has an MSRP of $52,500.
