its was a though decision for me. but i think a nice inline 6 turbo awd wagon body would be awesome. so basically a r34 wagon or something close.
Looks around for the “Most Consecutively Recycled CSR Car Award”
Edit…just re-read the specs…4/5 door and preferably a wagon. We’ve shot ourselves in foot…again! 
Still time for a rethink…

13 cars in, I started reviewing. Some good, some bad, some with several trims which I absolutely hate (what am I looking at). 
I’m at car no.5 and no surprises yet.

No surprises you say? Then here comes the oddball… a mandatory van entry! 
#Orion Visios XCT
The latest variant of the company’s classic rear-engined minivan - eXecutive Cruiser Turbo.
Powered by an innovative new V8 - a 4.8 litre turbocharged unit producing 339hp. Equipped with a fully premium interior, a modern CD audio system, an advanced traction control system and a high-tech semi-active suspension. Thanks to it’s lightweight body using aluminium panels and extremely finely tuned aerodynamics it needs just over 8 litres of fuel per 100 km. How scarily expensive is all this technology, you may ask? Not at all, starting at just 25k $ (18k at 0% markup).
Uff, enough of this marketing bulls…t

I know what you are thinking. Isn’t this under-achieving sport luxury thing just like all the others Laffy didn’t win with? There’s a key difference. This under-achieving sport luxury thing has chrome door handles.

1995 Maesima NV-993 ST-X
>___
> The 1995 Maesima NV-993 is a midsize car which was manufactured by Maesima from 1993 to 1997. The sedan, liftback and estate models were released in May 1993, they were produced in Anikatia at the main factory facilities in Namju.
The Maesima NV-993 Series II sedan, liftback and estate models were released in June 1995, featuring a revised look with new front fascia, tail treatments in addition to mechanical changes including revised transmission ratios and further refinements to the ride and handling. The model refresh saw the arrival of the sporty ST-X trim, which aimed to challenge the leading European sports sedans and estates.
This model added a unique four system derived from the companies efforts in world rally championships. In addition, a powerful 3.0L V6 engine from the NRZ-996 sports car was used to provide spirited performance. This allowed the ST-X trim to provide exhilarating 0-100 km/h times in under seven seconds while still offering everything a family could want.
Engine & transmission
The front-wheel drive NV-993 replaced the outgoing NV-988 and was powered by either a 2.2 litre four-cylinder petrol MC-GF21M engine with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder of the MCG series producing 95.9 kW (128.6 hp) and 182 Nm (134 ft lbs). Some markets offered a basic 1.8 litre four-cylinder petrol MC-OA17 engine with a single overhead cam and four valves per cylinder of the venerable MCO series producing 89.2 kW (119.6 hp) and 140 Nm (103 ft lbs).
The transmission options consisted of a four-speed automatic and five-speed manual units. Furthermore, the NV-993 range in most markets consisted of the Xz, Touring, Sports Touring, and Deluxe Touring trims.
Series II
NV-993 Series II was powered by either a 1.8 litre four-cylinder petrol MC-GF18 engine with a double overhead cam and four valves per cylinder of the MCG series producing 92.5 kW (124 hp) and 158 Nm (116 ft lbs) or a 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol MC-GF19 engine with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder of the MCG series producing 104.4 kW (140 hp) and 173 Nm (127 ft lbs).
The higher grade sports trims were fitted with a 2.2 litre four-cylinder petrol MC-GF21M engine with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder of the MCG series producing 107.2 kW (143.7 hp) and 190 Nm (140 ft lbs). The limited run high performance all wheel drive ST-X trim was fitted with a 3.0 litre V6 petrol MC-FG29M engine with double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder producing 183.1 kW (245.5 hp) and 280 Nm (206 ft lbs), from the well-proven MCF-engine series also found on the NR/Exestis, NRZ-996 and NL-992 vehicles.
The transmission options consisted of a four-speed automatic and five-speed manual units. Furthermore, the NV-993 range in most markets consisted of the Xz, Tz, ST, DTz and ST-X trims.
Sales & Warranty
All models were offered with competitive warranties and servicing deals but the NV-993 struggled against the established brands. But for those that wanted a practical, affordable and somewhat sporty sedan the NV-993 provided. The higher performance ST-X trim faired poorly against the sales charts that led to the discontinuation of the AWD performance models from the later NV-997 and Avellca lineups.

##Introducing the 1995 Bonham Chaucer
A bit over one year ago, the Automation forums saw the first showcase of Bonham Cars, in the form of the 1995 Bonham Chaucer and its subsequent trims. It was widely-praised for its great looks and well-rounded range, which went from a small economical estate all the way through to the 2.8 Brooklands trim shown here.
The standard straight-six engine was destroked, allowing it to rev upwards of 8,000 rpm. This meant the engine lost some of its capacity, going down from 3.0 litres to 2750 cc. However the newly found revs, combined with the Variable Cam Profile technology, means this car is able to produce 298 hp, driven through a 6-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Oh, yes, this is very much a drivers car. Yet there is also space for your dogs.
It costs Bonham just 17,900 to make one of these, be sure to pick yours up.

Znopresk Zenit ZRP Special.
You will not belive it.
ZRP should stop taking the big BMMA inline 6 block and put under the bonnet of all the ZM group cars.

Omg I’ll take this one. The colour, the butt chin, the dual fog lights, the flared arches.
Yes please.
I know turbos can get some extra fuel economy and torque and what not, but… Is the lag associated with them factored in to anyone’s calculations? Especially in the 90’s boost lag was a hell of a thing, which was why they didn’t really catch on until the new millenium, in anything but high end sports cars, and twin scrolls became a mainstream thing to give boost below 2,500.
Back in the 90’s (and prior) the saying was “There’s no replacement for displacement”.

I recognize the '95 Chaucer from the second season of the Themed Car Challenge, hosted by @pyrlix. In it, participants had to create a midsize saloon or estate car model, and create, in order, executive, family, off-road and sports trims (whose trim years were 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively), all powered by the same engine family. The trim you have submitted for CSR41 looks peachy, especially in the light orange you have chosen!
