Cars: I, being poor, have only my dreams
Cross-Market Appeal Challenge
I was feeling the itch to build a new car in Automation, and I came up with a silly idea: build a car to compete in two market categories, chosen completely at random. Basic rules are as follows:
- Choose two random categories off the list of all 60 market categories (shown below, up-to-date as of Build 151002).
- Choose a random year between 1940 and 2020.
- Build a car to the highest Competitiveness score you can in both categories. (50 = pass, 70 = good pass, 90 = excellent pass).
- Code:
1. Offroad Budget
2. Offroad
3. Offroad Premium
4. Offroad Utility
5. Heavy Utility
6. Family Utility Budget

I've only played it once, but it was interesting: I rolled Commuter Budget + Light Sport Premium in 1953, and built a rear-engined track-day car that barely squeaked out a pass. But I thought others might enjoy it as well.
(I used random.org to generate the numbers for the categories and year, but you can use whatever method you prefer.)
Edit 2015-12-04: In Build 151204, Utility Sport Budget (#11 on the list) was removed and Utility Sport Luxury added after Utility Sport Premium.
