I second that. But I have got the economy down to a good level but I need to lower the production units. Edit: all complete just finalizing the colour.

holy shit, Iâve just created a premium highway cruiser. As opposed to a sporty driverâs car.
What is wrong with me???
@Leonardo9613 I see that you are counting fuel costs. Are you also counting the service costs as seen in the engine tab? Reason I ask is that I have two options here: NA vs turbo. NA is obviously cheaper to service but more expensive to run⌠but the cheaper service costs far outweigh the extra fuel itâll use.
oh damn, your build is very close to mine 
I know right, I started out by trying to figure out how to keep the costs reasonable, and managed to squeeze this out (just). But is yours turbo? With a great fuel economy like that⌠I hope so 
Itâs N/A 
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu heavier AND more economical than mine. Maybe weâre using a different body?
Youâre using standard seats standard CD arenât you 
Indeed I am 
Hm. I must change bodies. You have shown me as much!
Hmm. Now Iâm starting to think that âthe bossâ would not be happy if his employee had my car

Woo! Glad to see youâre in this round, your car is looking seriously good so farâŚ
Hereâs what Erinâs bringing to the table.
The 1999 Erin Tauga! No, wait, hang onâŚ
The 1998 Erin Tauga PPC - Pre-Proudction Concept!
Having got wind of the poor Milton Keynes office workerâs strife in looking for a new car (only 80 miles down the M1 from the main Erin Factory), a sub-team in R&D working on the Tauga Project suggested that the company should send down one of the test vehicles to see how it ranks up against its rivals.
Itâs a perfect opportunity: testing it against the cars itâll be competing against once it goes on sale in a yearâs time and seeing how its target market likes the car. The feedback from this will be of untold value!
The defining characteristic of the Tauga is its low weight, which is a real benefit for handling and performance. This will undoubtedly be one of the most exciting cars in your test - it drives brilliantly.
Specifically, this is a mid-range Lex 2.2 trim (or at least the mock-up of one), with a Millenial 2.2l i6 under the bonnet. Itâs efficient, well specced and well priced.
Weâve also included a brochure from a recent car show we attended where this car was on display, take a look belowâŚ
With any luck, the new Tauga will meet your expectations of sensible design and interesting character.
Good luck to everyone entering this round, I think itâs gonna be a goodân!

Iâll 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 Iâll use this no-lore brand for challenges

- 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 Petoskeyâs 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 youâre going. Standard with all Petoskey models is the Petoskey DRIVESAFE package which includes ABS and Traction Control. But with how easily youâll 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, youâve got the promotion, you want the great car, but your budget wonât let you have the expensive German sedans you crave. At the same time, youâre tired of driving your cheap Japanese compact, and youâre looking for a nice upgrade.
Weâre an American company, but we understand style. We also understand that driving is meant to be a pleasant experience, and thatâs why weâve given you exactly what you deserve.
Under the hood is a nice 3.6 liter V6 engine, with dual-overhead cams. Why this engine? Itâs 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 youâre 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 didnât turn the engine sideways to do it. This means, when you bring the car in for routine maintenance, your mechanic wonât charge you a fortune for changing the spark plugs. This is how it was done in America in the 60âs and 70âs, and itâs 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. Weâve 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 weâve 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, weâve fitted a sunroof to the Midnight, and for those long drives, weâve equipped a nice CD player. You also have power steering, ABS, Traction Control, and Stability Assistance. Sure, the car canât drive itself, but itâll make driving easier. And if you ever do get in an accident, rest assured, because weâve equipped the car with a reasonable amount of safety equipment and built the car out of the finest American steel.
As for fuel efficiency, youâve likely heard everyone believes automatics to be inefficient and that they get poor mileage. Well, theyâre wrong. Youâll get 30 MPG, and thatâs US gallons, not UK gallons.
How much does it cost? $18,330.
Minerva Motors - The Wise Choice.

Youâve 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 Iâm sure this is a good design.
