Many would, which was why I was keen to point that out.
But on the same token even without Kai’s hatred of everything Swede, being the most tolerable car isn’t enough to take home the prize, so I wish to assure everybody that it wasn’t only that. That would have sucked big time. In fact, once you see the result, I hope that everybody will agree that the process ended up fairer than I myself expected!
The BMMA logos fall down from the car during the test? 
Sabrooo nooooooo… well shame there was no Kai’s test drive but I’m still proud of what I build. Now let get to other reviews

I didn’t expect anybody to submit a freaking Saab for chrissakes

That was sort of a plan yes 
it did! For some funny reason I didn’t notice that all my mod badges uninstalled, or didn’t reinstall when I stopped closed beta testing. I’m sorry about that.
Correction - the engine in the K4 is not a V6 but a straight-6. It’s still got a turbo on it, though. At any rate, even though it didn’t appeal to Kai, I have no regrets in submitting the K4 - it’s really competitive in a multitude of classes even with every quality slider (except for interior, entertainment and safety) set to 0, which keeps costs down. It just needs to look more… distinctive.
And yes, even with hypercars there is a limit to how aggressive the suspension can be before it becomes unbearable. Any suspension more complex than steel springs is a big no-no in this round, where simplicity is a priority - except for a well-tuned air suspension system with just the right number of tech points in it. Too many and it will be overpriced.
my bad, I fixed that!
Well, at least I know there is a market for my car, even if Kai isn’t overly fond of it. We’ll see if round 18 holds some luck for me.
I chose different shades of blue
so, 3 cars so far that is being taken into consideration so far…
and literally no 4 bangers in this half. i guess i went a bit wild with the color and engine choices.
though, wonder if strop will take notice of the actual hidden capabilities of the engine. easily bored and stroked up to a 3.3L, i mean, write about it. or anything related to the original car lineup at all actually.
OK, I’m officially happy that I sat this one out…well not actually “happy”…more a case of relieved.
Still hunting 3DS files…as well as Pokemon (WHY did I install it???)
well, a least you’ll get fitter with pokemon go…
I’m fekkin’ knackered…heatwave and Pokemon Go…and I’m old so…
snore
this is very interesting, it’s all to play for (for most that is (unless you’re @AirJordan and give a swedish car to a dane 
)
Should’ve entered the RS-TRX now… 
Meh, It wouldn’t have had a chance anyway.
Awesome what a way to wake up and I learnt something
Okay you’re doing it again, reinterpreting my words incorrectly and passing it off as fact. It’d be fine if either your assessments were more nuanced, or you had phrased it as a speculation or question or clarification, but you put it in such certain, absolute terms I have no choice but to pipe up and go no, that’s wrong, so people don’t start running on misconceptions.
What you don’t know is that the entries that had air suspension in them so far also had a lot of tech invested into them. The type does matter but as stated for this round, so too does the tech points. In fact, this effect becomes dramatically more pronounced the more tech points one puts in. Personally you never get quite as much returns for the effort, depending in the component, so they should really only be used as a matter of brand philosophy or necessity (like a very high revving engine needs lots of valve train tech).
A closer reading of my text so far will uncover the hidden meaning on how the ability to modify the car affects different cars: particularly for the extreme cars, their inability to be modified hurt them mainly if their tuning was amiss.
So yes, overly extreme settings can hurt even hypercars. But air springs are okay, if they a) are optimally tuned and/or b) don’t have heaps of tech on them. Same too with other springs. Active suspensions, however, that’s a different story.
oh, the anticipation!
I was one of the last submissions, and haven’t been able to get an ad up. I should probably do that soon.
Just wait til you see the review of the first car off the line after the jump.
Also, I do try to take the background of the companies into account, if I know enough about them. This also means if you have a brand image or active story elsewhere on the forums, then I will integrate it into the story (see references to Znopresk/BMMA and Boqliq/Leeroy).
For example, if Saminda submitted a car, I’d definitely take a few potshots at their quality control woes 
Now I’m not sure whether to be upset or glad that I’m still stuck mid-to-late 80’s in my company thread.
Don’t worry, if there’s no current events then obviously I don’t assume your company is still stuck in the 80s
I mean spare a thought for all those users who submit cars from the noughties onwards who revamp their threads every few months and never get past the 50s. Yes, there’s definitely a few of you
