I edited my original post. I hope that the title of "M3 Kiler" is not too specific.

[Der Bayer]

I think "M3" is a no-go for obvious reasons.

[maffc]

How about Bavarian triple instead

[WizzyThaMan]

Updated mine btw. Jakgoe, just go for something not directly connected to a brand. So no real model names and such.

[Jakgoe]

I know, I edited it so it implied a brand, but with no real names or models.

You need something that will fill the gap nicely, an upper-middle-class model. It is relatively simple, any desirable car needs to have 3 S, Speed, Style and Snobbery. But come on, it's just for filling the gap. You even have the name for it now, your own dad's name! What could possibly go wrong?

Scenario Description: 2017, Turboconomy
The year is 2017, and the market for boosted economical cars is on the rise. North America seems to love the sound of whistling turbos! However, strict limitations mean that you'll have to innovate with this new vehicle. Your boss insists that you build a vehicle of this specification, so make it snappy and you might just get a raise!

Edit 3.0: Changed some more stuff around.
