1990 Phoenix Athina / 323 FWD
Short Story:
This is actually my first creation based on some Japanese design, so I've chosen one of forgotten classics of the late 1980s, mostly in shade of well-known Japanese imports from the same decade.
This car is based on Astina / 323 F model, well-known sporty 5-door hatch with recognizable frontal side with pop-up headlights. The car was actually well-known upper middle-class enterpreurs' car, but the fact is, this car was typical Japanese model with focus on reliability and fuel economy, and typical example of postmodernism in designing terms. To some people it's ugly, and to some it's actually very innovative or creative, but everyone will praise its technical functionalities - very easy handling, simple maintenance (besides unavoidable electronics' presence) and reliable engine with typical minimalistic but functionable interior design.
The body template for this car is, ironically, heavily modified '80s Toyota Cielo present in vanilla Automation game. Have fun!
