1996 Saloon Shootout - {RESULTS}

Image
Ah, the nineties. What a cool decade. The birth of some of the most coveted items such as Nintendo's domination of the video game market, some of the most "rad" TV shows, and, of course, some of the coolest cars, like the Toyota Supra MKIV and McLaren F1. In the 90's, it's cool to be cool. And, nothing screams cool more than your car. That said, midsize sedans were never known for being cool; yet they dominated the market then and continue to now. And your companies? They must have sold them by the millions... Or did they? Have your company enter a cheap and cheerful midsize saloon to compete against the likes of the Honda Accord, VW Passat, Alfa Romeo 156, and BMW 318i, and we can see who is the best.

Please, if you don't have the steam version of the game, use vanilla parts only. Only your latest build please.

---Regulations---
Trim Tech year 1996 - Model may be of different year to simulate an earlier release date.
A recommended market price and not production price price range of over $15,000 and under $25,000.
Cars can only run on unleaded fuel.
Wheelbase 115 inches/2.92 meters or under.
Only 4 doors.
Not really a regulation, but if you want to succeed, try not to make irrational decisions.

---NEW---
After closer inspection, I have decided that, since it is so common, catalytic converters are now required on every car. If you don't have one, I will PM you.


--Scoring---
High importance - Reliability, Price, Comfort, Safety.
Medium importance -Fuel economy, Drivability.
Lesser importance - Sportiness.
Slight importance - Prestige, power (Acceleration times).


The deadline is December 27th. Maximum of 25 entries.
Amount of sent entries: 25.
Amount of viewed and/or accepted entries: 25.

If you are not mentioned, please tell me. I'll let you know if I forgot about your entry or not.

Re: 1996 Saloon Shootout - {Open}

Thank you so much for making a challenge about building an everyday sort of car, they're the reason I love Automation! Just a quick question, when we go to submit the car, is there a naming convention we should follow?

Interesting that Drivability apparently isn't important at all... Hmm....

Hope to enter later this week. Stock, boring cars are my favorite to make, just not usually so "new."

Re: 1996 Saloon Shootout - {Open}

As for a naming convention, not this time. I'll sort cars by year, they should all come up.

As for drivability, well, I'll leave it up to you to see how civilized you want your car to be.

EDIT: I'll add drivability and safety into the weights, since, after careful thought, people don't want to crash into a tree.

Re: 1996 Saloon Shootout - {Open}

Quick note: is the current standalone build 151208 or 151211? Because the Steam version is the latter.

Earlier today - I think it's just some bugfixes, but I haven't seen a changelog.

I'm important! I drive a dodge Stratus!

Should you perhaps set an engineering cost limit? It might set up some variety as to what people choose to spend their development money on.

Sounds like a challenge I can get behind. I'll come up with something, I'm sure of it.

Centauri is in with Our entry level "midsized" Voyager, it's a solid and dependable platform that's been in production for almost 10 years now, new for 1996 is the Gypsy trim level aimed at the affordable premium market with a stronger focus on economy and luxury then previous trims.
