theory behind this is: 04midsize ---> smaller Covet 200nx ---> larger Hirochi File space --- Post updated --- indeed
No, however the current plans were to redo it to a more faithful recreation of the MX3 and add a hint of NX2000/Del Sol If anything the Eclipse Nacho asked about would be a Hirochi, as Mitsubishi and Subaru tend to be associated with Hirochi, and he made a good point in my DM’s and basically was like “why is everything an Ibishu” and yknow he wasn’t wrong
I think a more standard, less sporty Hirochi from the late '90s- early '2000s would be cool. The 2002 Mazda Protege matches the design cues of the new 200NX replacement oddly well, and considering it came in a wagon too, I think it would be a good jumping-off point for a commuter that is quintessentially Hirochi. A flat-four engine, some minor design tweaks, and some plastic cladding/AWD for the wagon would be a treat.
ok lets break this down. 1. I like the idea of another basic commuter car made by Hirochi so thats a plus 2. The newer gen Pessima is already very similar in design becaus eits based on another mazda at the time so i dont think that this would be it. 3. I dont think it would be a good idea to replace a light 2+2 coupe with a basic 4door sedan and wagon 4. We couldnt fit a Boxer in that tiny thing
Would be interesting having the USDM versions be under a different brand like how Chrysler and Mitsubishi did.
As someone who owns a 02 protege5, I do like the idea of this. As for the awd version with plastic cladding, that was a factory option in japan for the Familia sport20 that gave it a slight lift with awd and sliver cladding around the wheel arches. Idk about the boxer engine but it's really common to swap in the kl-ze v6 from the 626 (what the newer pessima is based on) and they sound amazing.
Bruckell 200NX or maybe Gavril, I think bruckell supposed to be a least partially based off of Chrysler though cause the Legran looks like a LeBaron. Or maybe call it Ibishu 200NX/ Bruckell Solar
Bruckell Yeah we decided that it probably will not be a 200nx replacement but maybe its own car. That would mean that this will 100% be a Hirochi if we do make it
what about changes to the civetta? anything new? an alfa romeo giulia rebadged as a civetta would be stellar. like, the civetta elegante or sth
we're waiting on the bolide revamp before we do any drastic content additions to the bolide. but don't worry, once that happens, we've got some ideas.
