I’ll only look into finer detail such as that in case the cars are very close and I need to split hairs.
Yet another CSR car from Griffa, I think I’ll use this no-lore brand for challenges 
Griffa’s executive sedan, the new 1998 Sirion! What does it offer?
- 3.3 litre turbocharged, exceptionally smooth, efficient and powerful inline 6
- all the latest innovations for aiding the driver
- great performance with easy handling
- prestigious 18" alloy rims
- truly premium interior
- fancy, magical stuff
Slight off-topic - download of my previous round car, if anyone is interested ( @phale you wanted to see the stats of the winning oneS - I guess 4th place counts? ;)): szafirowy01 - CSR32 - szafirowy01.zip (24.4 KB)

Presenting the 1998 Petoskey Keeweenaw Signature Edition:
A superb replacement for the aging Strider, the Keeweenaw is Petoskey’s latest entry level offering. Using a brand new 115 cubic inch DOHC inline 4, the Keweenaw stays at the forefront of fuel efficiency while having just enough pep to get you where you’re going. Standard with all Petoskey models is the Petoskey DRIVESAFE package which includes ABS and Traction Control. But with how easily you’ll be able to handle this car, you need hardly concern yourself as the Keeweenaw is extremely forgiving on the road. For the young executive we offer the SE variant: The Signature Edition boasts a far more comfortable interior than what would initially be assumed. A top of the line ArbyTronics TX-80 stereo system completes the package. Come on down and test drive a Keeweenaw today.

Minerva Motors would like to present the 1998 Minerva Midnight.
We understand, you’ve got the promotion, you want the great car, but your budget won’t let you have the expensive German sedans you crave. At the same time, you’re tired of driving your cheap Japanese compact, and you’re looking for a nice upgrade.
We’re an American company, but we understand style. We also understand that driving is meant to be a pleasant experience, and that’s why we’ve given you exactly what you deserve.
Under the hood is a nice 3.6 liter V6 engine, with dual-overhead cams. Why this engine? It’s a nice powerful V6, with enough get-up-and-go to manage any overtake you demand of it, while at the same time sipping fuel so you’re not being burned at the pump.
To make the car easy to drive, we chose to power the front wheels. But unlike those cheap and awful Japanese cars, we didn’t turn the engine sideways to do it. This means, when you bring the car in for routine maintenance, your mechanic won’t charge you a fortune for changing the spark plugs. This is how it was done in America in the 60’s and 70’s, and it’s still perfect for today.
We believe a bit of chrome offsets an otherwise boring sedan and makes it something everyone would want, and the Midnight is no exception to that rule. We’ve kept it simple, because we know how it is when you get the new car in the parking lot. Be the envy of your coworkers, not your boss, after all. Which is why we complimented our tasteful application of chrome with the Moonlit Sky Blue paint color. A deep, rich blue that will undoubtedly draw attention your way, while still being understated enough to avoid being obnoxious.
As mentioned previously, driving is meant to be pleasant. Which is why we’ve equipped the Midnight with our latest and greatest 5 speed automatic, because you deserve a car that does all the hard work for you. Your life is filled with hard work, and driving should not be a chore. To let the sun in on demand, we’ve fitted a sunroof to the Midnight, and for those long drives, we’ve equipped a nice CD player. You also have power steering, ABS, Traction Control, and Stability Assistance. Sure, the car can’t drive itself, but it’ll make driving easier. And if you ever do get in an accident, rest assured, because we’ve equipped the car with a reasonable amount of safety equipment and built the car out of the finest American steel.
As for fuel efficiency, you’ve likely heard everyone believes automatics to be inefficient and that they get poor mileage. Well, they’re wrong. You’ll get 30 MPG, and that’s US gallons, not UK gallons.
How much does it cost? $18,330.

You’ve done the exact same body as me, with almost the exact same color and with a black grille with chrome contours and the chrome fog lights 
At least now I’m sure this is a good design.

Let’s make commuting fun again…
OPEN IMAGE COMPLETELY TO SEE FULL DETAILS
Rapid, comfortable, fun to drive, smooth, relaxing, well-equipped, spacious, premium, safe… What more could you want from a car, and this won’t even break the bank, when buying and once you own it. Thanks to low emissions, this makes the perfect company car. Not much more needs to be said about the Typhon, except you can now get it for just £209 per month with a £1,999 deposit!

I am also using a standard interior and CD player, but am relying on a high level of sportiness to balance this out.

Have you submitted already? It seems that you could probably select some more premium parts on that car if you wanted, given the brief.
Consider this:
It’s not as driveable! I hear people say. That’s because I tuned the suspension to be sportier.

Looking for something to trade up to after you’ve just been promoted? Consider the attractively designed Kramer K3 2.5 as your next set of wheels. The example shown here is finished in Deep Claret Metallic, although other colors are available. Its normally-aspirated 2.5-liter straight-six is optimized for a high level of economy and yet still delivers just over 160 bhp, which should be enough to get this car from 0 to 60 in 7.5 seconds with the standard six-speed manual gearbox (although a five-speed automatic is optional). And with corrosion-resistant steel comprising the bulk of the car’s body and chassis (with the latter incorporating AHS steel), you won’t have to worry about rust for a very long time, if at all.
Considering that the K3 (more specifically, the 2.5 trim level) had to be developed in less than 60 months, we settled on a hard-wearing standard interior and safety suite, but still managed to include ABS and traction control, as well as fully independent suspension (double wishbones up front and a multi-link rear) and a viscous limited-slip differential to help put the power down. This is clearly a car built for real drivers, and one guaranteed to inject some fun into your otherwise monotonous daily commute. You can even upgrade to an optional premium interior (complete with an advanced safety suite incorporating stability control) and stereo if you want, or specify 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in high-performance tires, or both.
And at just $16,770 after applying a 30% markup, the K3 2.5 is definitely priced to move… quickly.

Ive already submitted, which is rather stupid on my part, but theres not much I could have done to make it more premium without going overbudget. It already has mags, automatic gears, standard equipment and progressive suspensions and vented disks, and im just about on budget. 13260 @ 30% markup and about 1857 in running cost.

I assume you’ve been adding your running costs for 3 years to the price to calculate the budget. I’m not sure this was what Leo intended, so let’s bring up that section again:
Leo can you clarify whether you mean price + 30% markup should be around 19k and then add the annual costs for 3 years on top to calculate total budget… or do you want us to try and squeeze in the full costs into 19k? I think just about everybody else here is under the impression that it’s the former and not the latter.
