I decided against calling the truck an Aztec. I can't get the image of the first one out of my head.

Two new medium factories will be built in Cynthiana, KY and Bloomington, IN to accommodate the production of the Aztec and Star Chief/Nova Chief.

Read this in the voice of Clint Eastwood.

Model Name: Conquistador (yeah, I know...)
Trim Levels: Two-door Manual V6 (TMS), Four-door Manual V6 (FMS), Two-door Manual V8 (TME), Four-door Manual V8 (FME), Four-door automatic V6 (FAS), Four-door automatic V8 (FAE), Four-door automatic V8 diesel (FAD), and four-door manual V8 diesel. With all choices you can also have an extended or regular bed (the extended bed actually looks completely different rather than a stretched version of the original), and you also get the choice of RWD or RWD/AWD, available with any drivetrain or bed size. So there's 32 different trims in total... sorry BK.
Body Style(s): Pickup Truck! (1000cr; there are four body combos)
Engine(s): 4.4L Supercharged V6, 5.9L V8, 6.8L Twin-Turbo Diesel V8 (2000cr)
Drivetrain(s): RWD, RWD/AWD (600cr)
Transmission(s): 6-Speed Manual, 6-Speed Automatic (450cr)
Production Factory: Cynthiana, KY
Description (optional, but helpful): Tired of Ford, Chevy and Dodge? Too American to drive a Toyota? Get yourself a Pontiac. The Conquistador pickup truck goes on sale this January. The Conquistador is the manliest truck on the road. Every model comes with interchangeable horns, from the Dukes of Hazard to a Freightliner to a train. Stuck behind a minivan in the fast lane? The Conquistador features a convenient switch right next to the horn button on your steering wheel. Flip it to start rapidly flashing the brights. All models feature a back-to-basics layout with the option to upgrade to the more modern options (although heated seats come standard). A "bully bar" bumper comes as a free option.
Cost of Development: That's a good one...um...4050cr?
Nations sold: 2 (80% USA, 20% Canada)

Trim distributions:
30% Supercharged V6, 30% V8, 40% Diesel. All other trims are divided equally amongst the engines.

I'll type up the Star Chief later.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Aryeesport Factory Distribution:

Middletown, NY, USA: 10,000 Themis L & LS; 5,000 Themis ASR; 15,000 Hemera L & LS per quarter
San Diego, CA, USA: 2,000 Artemis ASR; 8,000 Artemis LS; 10,000 Hemera L & LS; 5,000 Poseidon LS; 5,000 Poseidon S per quarter

Hamburg, Germany: 2,000 Themis ASR; 3,000 Themis L & LS; 5,000 Hemera L & LS

 

[Brutaka]

I will be keeping my trims simple: Standard, Convertible, and sports

 

[chef211]

You just use the platforms without using an engine. Just buy electric motors, and it'll be all-electric.

Alright, because I'm thinking about an all electric Spirit range that's why.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Also, it was the Artemis ASR, not AVR, @BKGlover. That was my mistake, though.

 

[JMoney]

The Conquistador's interior features a lot a metal.

Lots of these.

Accompanied with stamped metal labels.

The speedometer, RPM, temperature, oil and fuel gauges feature a rectangular moving background with a stationary needle (A single needle sits in the middle of the window with each dial stacked on top of one another).

Like this

How have I only just seen this! I'll try to get myself on the market soon!

[Legro]

We have received a leak from Legro Motors suggesting that the British car brand they have been talking about would be Triumph Cars. Our source tells that brand new Triumph car should come from brand new factory in next year. There are even stronger sings that Legro Motors will buy Truimph Cars brand from BMW, Legro Motors CEO Leevi Gronberg has been seen driving Triumph TR6 in Bayer, Germany.

 

[WhiterunGuard]

We recently interviewed WhiterunGuard from Knight Industries about his view on a few things...
Q:So...WhiterunGuard, will you ever reveal your real name?
A: Part of it now that I know I'm not going down the drain anytime soon...call me Elias

Q: Ok,Elias, your concept at Geneva did not do so well...do you still plan on producing it?
A:Yes, I do...and to show my main rival at Legro Motors I mean business, and how you should really do it, I'm going to start a new company next year with the Suleyk leading the charge, not buying a company.

Q:That seemed a little venomous...are you in bad standing with Legro Motors?
A:No...that came out wrong...don't put that in your interview post. I consider Legro one of my friends, and being the only other Finnish brand at the moment, my biggest rival, in fact if I ever do go under he gets all my Knight Industries assets for free.

Q:Have you done anything to address the problem with your exploding W20 (the reporter happens to not know it is a Twin V)
A:Yes...use a stronger material and also the engine is a Twin V...not a W engine.

Q:Can you drop a hint about your Goodwood Vehicle?
A:I would love to...It's from our FLaG division...it will attempt to use Power Band Technology like you would find in the transmission of a racing motorcycle and possibly Fan Technology like that of the Chaparral 2J...

Q:FLaG?
A:Fast, Low and Grand

Q: Ok...that is all then...have a good day Elias
A:come back any time...

Future Cars: 2015 Starboard Atlantica and Mediterranea, plus 5 questions with CEO chef211

We have received some news about Starboard's upcoming debut at Goodwood, the Atlantica 4-door coupe and Mediterranea 4-door Convertible electric cars. Starboard said that they want to directly fight the Tesla Model S with the Atlantica sedan. The Atlantica sedan and Mediterranea Convertible will also preview a new design language for all Spirit class vehicles , the Starboard boss chef211 said. We have prepared 5 questions regarding the Atlantica Sedan and Mediterranea Convertible's debut at Goodwood in a couple of weeks.

We have came up with 5 questions to share with chef211 as well.

1. Why did you choose an all-electric powertrain instead of a hybrid powertrain for the Atlantica sedan?

Answer: Simple, the Atlantica simply was not the right time for us financially to put out a V8 hybrid, so Starboard decided to do an all-electric powertrain simply because it was just getting phased in by rivals and electric motors by themselves are getting more powerful.

2. Have you decided the Atlantica's design yet, since we all know it is going to be based on your Savona (RWD) platform?

Answer: Yes, I have gone with a 4-door coupe design to give the Atlantica that luxurious feel that it needs as well as some elegance.

3. What about the windows in the design, are you going to the same approach as the Radiance or something different?

Answer: Like I said I am going to go the same route but in a more elegant format because I have a RWD platform to work with instead of an FWD platform.

4: Can you share any details about the engine?

Answer: I can not share any details at this time but you will hear specs at a later date.

5: About the Mediterranea, is it going to be a soft folding top like normal convertibles would have or a hard folding top?

Answer: The Mediterranea will use a hard folding top because it also doubles as a sedan as well.

 

[titleguy1]

For Goodwood, I'll be sending...
Arachnid Race Car from the last show (Complete racing conversion, 650 HP, M4)
Sakura WRC (Rally version on the Sakura, 400 HP, M4)
Excel R-Speed (Racing converted Excel with the engine from the Arachnid, 500 HP, FM4)
Taking spots A-10, A-11, and A-12.

 

[ildd]

Harrbol will be sending the Babec RWD and Cupo (A)(to be released soon) to Goodwood. I'd like to reserve spots D8 and D9.

 

[DurWinning]

Krieger would like to reserve spots D-1, D-2, and D-3 for the 616 E, Luxor E, and Uberschall Concept

 

[chef211]

Starboard Motors would like to reserve C-2 and C-3 for Goodwood to show the upcoming Diadema supercar and the upcoming RWD Spirit-class of electric cars. (Atlantica and Mediterranea)

 

[GranTurismo916]

If they haven't been taken already:

Aryeesport is reserving spots B6 and B7 for the Poseidon S and Poseidon LS.

 

[BKGlover]

I apologize for leaving y'all hanging yesterday. Not in a much better mood. J has made me think about something with his new entry (not sure if I hate you or not yet, J). We have coupes and sedans, but almost everything else is very nondescript with it's sizing. Should I make it moreso, or are things fine as is?

I'll start hammering out new stats asap.

I would just leave it as it is in my opinion.

Maybe you should have categories in the body styles such as:
Hatchback
-2 door
-4 door

Coupe
-Sports
-Supercar

They all cost the same to develop but gives us and you a more specific view of what the car is.

 

[BKGlover]

Actually, Coupe and Sedan, being as they are 2-door and 4-door, respectively, a large portion of the time, they would stay. The hatch is more what I'm thinking, but with everything, but I wasn't sure if I need to make prices different. A lot of you do this for flavor right now, how would you react if a body cost...25cr more for two more doors?

I would bump the Hatchback up 25cr because it seems too cheap compared to the sedan and coupe and then that way, It would balance the bodystyles out.
