So i have a few questions about car designer that i have been wanting to ask. I know these have probably been asked before, but i want more clarification as to the current state of car designer.
1. What is the time table for car designer to be released ?
2. What is the estimate amount of body designs that will be available for the first release of the car designer?
3. Will the body styles change with the year?
4. What types of body styles will be in the game ?

1. It will take ~6+ more months until a first Car Designer release.
2. ~4
3. Yes!
4. Everything you see on the road, from kei cars to pickup trucks and supercars. No exotic stuff like 3-wheelers / open-wheelers though as far as we can tell now.

Oh, we don't have any specific plans for what car body shapes we're going to do yet, but ideally enough to represent all the major styling types and car types that have been common since 1946..

I think for the 1940s who knows, 1950s again who knows, 1960s that hs got to be something big brutal and American, 1970s that has got to be the Ford XB GT Falcon reference to my signature please, 1980s I think the Escort Cosworth would do nicely, 1990s hmm Lotus Carlton, 2000 come on Bugatti Veyron 2010 who knows, 2020 let your mind go WILD!

A Veyron-copy will do good if you don't want to sell more then 20 pieces a year. To really make money and have a big market share, you have to build some "boring" mainstream stuff. I'm so looking forward to the time where all of the people in the forums don't get hörny by pure power/torque.

Well you don't have to... look at independent companies like Aston Martin and Mclaren and Koengsegg and Pagani... do you see any of them make something "boring and mainstream"?? You don't have to do that to make money...

Sure but, the way he is bringing the point is, that its not what this game will be about, it will be about making a good successfull company with a safe approche of the market. Completely what a supercar independant company is not. Starting a Supercar company put you in a big make it or break it situation.
Secondo, It will be nicer/more challenging, to make a sweet sporty hot hatch with cost restriction and low MPG target, than a Uber-Infinite budjet
no restriction V12 Mid engine supercar.
