Hirochi Sunlight "Sunburst, but longer... and lazy" Short Description Hirochi Sunlight is a 2007 4 door mid-size saloon car that has the new Hirochi's design that later will be used in 2009 Hirochi Sunburst. It's famous for the V6 that some configurations have, like the Luxe, and Sport S and RS, and RWD configurations. Development History It's 2006, Hirochi is famous for creating rally styled cars, famous for its rally team, and famous for its pianos, but in the company, they wanted to create the mid-size family car, that will get the whole new design, that they can use later for the next generation of the Sunburst, the compact rally styled car. It will keep its tradition for being a rally styled car, and cool. After working for day and nights, day and nights, they came up with the new 4 door saloon car, that's enough to get 5 people inside without any problems, and put large items in the back, and they called it the "Sunlight". In 2007, the car has been released, and people liked it! It was so good, that people keep buying them so much, that even Sunburst can keep up with the sales of the Sunlight. It got the 2.5L V6 engine, that sounds good, and it's very powerful. There's many configurations for the people's taste, and without any limits. Sport RS version of the car is made for those, who needs both better practicality, and power, and sporty styling, full of the rally soul. The production ended in 2013, and sold over 5,525,030 world wide. This is my second mod based on something and heavily (or in this case not really heavily) modified, After releasing Autron Petitron, which is my first and large mod, i was thinking about creating more of the cars i like to do. Hirochi Sunlight was inspired by Subaru Legacy MK4. and intially it should to have the own model (based on Subaru Legacy MK4 again), but it later failed once i realized how bad i'm modeling right now, so i decided to just take the Sunburst's model, and make it little bit longer, taller, and make the back bigger. I know that's little bit idiotic to do that again, but just a good reminder to all of you - i'm not a professional, and indeed not a modder who does the mods for years. The project (using the Sunburst) was started in March 26, 2022. The car revialed in my Discord server in April 1st, 2022 (nice joke isn't it), with the slogan "It's a real spark", which is a slogan you have seen on the top of the page. I don't know when i will release it, but the goal of this mod project is to do it quickly, which is possible to do in this case since most of the stuff has been finished already since it's started (the Jbeam editing, skin support, and the V6 engine), and the entire thing was just a Sunburst. This car had the first name "Supaku", as the internal files of the mod will have that name, it was changed to the Sunlight, thanks to a @edi123 who suggested the name and make it finalized. It may be very questinable to some people, but just for a reminder, i'm still a noob - low-medium modder, so expect to see some confusing things, and bad stuff. Hope you like the idea, and good luck! Quick questions and quick anwsers Question 1: Will it have custom engines? Anwser: I don't think so, i think V6 is enough for it Question 2: Will it have some things that your Autron Petitron has? Anwser: No. Question 3: Why Sunburst? Anwser: As everyone understands it, it is a good car, indeed, this is the only one i know to be a 2000s car. Question 4: Will it have RHD interior? Anwser: I don't think so, but maybe in the future it will get it in one of the updates. Question 5: is it good for murdering? Anwser: obviously, take it and go murder.

Description says it is a 2007 car, that changed the whole Hirochi's design, that that design was used in Sunburst, which is a 2009 car. --- Post updated --- It isn't small, it's a little taller, and a little longer.
It looks pretty cool but I would personally make it a bit longer because it proportionally still is a sunburst.
Well, after seeing this, as for me i can't unsee the thing that it is the same size compare to the sunburst, the back and B pillar (middle door pillars) are little backwards than in Sunburst.
