Ah ok, didn’t know that. Would have been better to have put a post on here as not everyone uses discord. But at least it’s not dead anyway

CSC 49 - A Risky Bet
Summary
1972, 22 years have passed since the foundation of Fitz, a company specialized in building off road light and mid utility vehicles. The brand earned a solid reputation for offering reliable and capable trucks, and it’s founder, Gregorio Fitz was really proud of it. During this time, his son Enrique joined the directive board, bringing into the company big ideas: he wants the brand to be diversified into new segments, taking advantage of the brand’s reputation, and he knows that bringing a new, out-of-the-box concept of an urban family car.
But his father has some serious doubts. Fitz has relied on traditional design and mechanics to thrive in the utilitarian market; bringing a small car to it’s lineup wouldn’t make sense for the clients, and it would undermine the brand’s hard earned reputation.
To prove that his idea can work out fine, he decides to create a ready-for-production concept car to be shown at the next International Auto Show, and he’s asking for desing proposals for this concept
Fitz is looking for a small, innovative 4-door car/5-door hatchback, which keeps some of the traditional brand’s design, while being much more refined. It has to look like a Fitz, but not look like a plain truck

but could we use a 3 door hatchback tho? some of the cars in the Inspirations only have 3 doors
i think it would be a bit better and more flexible for more types of cars we could make

take into account that each car that I’ve presented as inspiration has a 4-door variant. I wanted it to be a 4 door sedan/5 door hatch because of the family-car purpose of it, but I could allow 3 doors hatchs too.

Does the car have to be front engined?
Edit
Also only 4 doors or more than 4? So 5 door hatch or wagon is ok?
Fwd, rwd, AWD preference? Was in my head thinking of an AMC Eagle
-No, there’s no restriction on engine placement, only the so far optional requirement of engine bay size.
-Yeah I miswrote that, I’ll change it to something like “at least 4 doors”
No preference at all, but then again car mechanics are not importantly judged, as the main objective is to provide the body design
is this 2.4m in game with the rounding up, or actually hard 2.40m limit
Are there any requirements as far as country regulations go? Like do we have to meet US lighting regulations or any such thing? Or will any era appropriate designs suffice?
Hard limit
Well, I wasn’t thinking about adding country regulations, since Fitz is based in Argentina and at that time they took mostly european regulations (i.e. orange indicator bulbs, no need for twin headlights for low and high beams). If people wants me to go more into detail with that I can make some extra rules
Time to start again then
