I KNOW THAT THIS MOD IS NOT VERY GOOD, ILL UPDATE IT TO IMPROVE

Lore: In 2009, ETK was in SERIOUS financial trouble. Stocks down, sales down and profit margin almost zero. In desperate need of profit, they reached out to Hirochi, that had just launched the all-new Sunburst, to rebadge it into the ETK 400-Series. Hirochi accepted and the project begun. After only 5 months, it was ready. The "all-new" ETK 400 with two bodystyles, two engine options, three trim levels and a janky automated manual gearbox.

Trims:

- 444 100 CVT:

Base model of the ETK 400 lineup. Has the exact
same equipment as the base model Sunburst, but
it has a I3 1.0L turbocharged engine.

- 444 140 AWD CVT

Top-trim model of the ETK 400 lineup. Has the exact
same equipment as the comfort model Sunburst, but
it has a I4 1.4L turbocharged engine.

- 454 140 AWD CVT

Top-trim model of the ETK 400 lineup. Has the exact
same equipment as the wagon comfort model Sunburst,
but it has a I4 1.4L turbocharged engine.

!THIS IS NOT A SEPARATE VEHICLE, ITS INSIDE THE SUNBURST!

I like how you're planning to redo the entire thing after a while step by step even if it is just a rebadge currently.

to be honest, a broken badge texture (flipped normals), and an aurata gauge cluster (this makes 0 sense) is really not something youd release. Please put some more effort on something before releasing this, its so tiring to just see boring rebadge after boring rebadge

i cant tell a difference in this and a normal sunburst besides the single texture on the front and rear and even that isnt done properly as the normals on the texture are scuffed lmao

i'll be completely honest: outside of the Aurata gauge cluster this is pretty much identical to the in-game Sunburst, just with a low quality etk badge slapped in some places. i would jokingly say that you just Mitsubishi'd it, but the sad truth is that at least they changed the front grille a bit to at least somewhat differenciate them from the Renault counterparts. this is just extremely low effort.

Eh. I like rebadges but this is just stupid. Seeing as the Sunburst was sold everywhere, having the only difference be a small badge would not fly irl. And the Aurata gauge cluster makes even less sense, the Aurata went into production in 2016 while the Sunburst went out of production in 2014.
