2021-23 Bruckell Flare / 2021-23 Bruckell Rustler
Rayonner's Relative
Lore
As part of their partnership with French automaker Cherrier, in 2021 Bruckell imported and rebadged Cherrier's Vivace hatchback and Tograc crossover to the US as the Flare and Rustler. This helped Cherrier nearly double worldwide production of their FCV platform, as well as neatly filling a fairly profitable hole in Bruckell's vehicle lineup.
Description
The Bruckell Flare is a 5-door hatchback sold in the US from 2021-2023. It is sold in 3 trim levels that are comparable to trim levels on the Bastion: SE, Luxe, and Sport GT. In 2022, the Vivace E was also imported and, with minor changes, added to Bruckell's lineup as the Flare EV.
The Bruckell Rustler is a crossover SUV. Due to its European styling and small (by American standards) size, the Rustler has earned an unfortunate but ultimately profitable reputation as a "soccer mom" car. It, like the Flare, is sold in SE and Luxe trims, but the Rustler also has a top-of-the-line option called the TrailSport. In true American crossover fashion, the TrailSport has little in the way of additional offroad capability beyond a raised suspension and upgraded wheels made by Folk Racing.
What's Included?
This mod contains Bruckell-badged replacements for most Cherrier-branded parts on the FCV, such as hoods, front bumpers, tailgates, and steering wheels. In addition, I summoned all the Blender capabilities I could muster and resized not one, not two, but three sets of Bruckell wheels from the Bastion. These can be used on any vehicle, as they are listed in the wheel selector as "17x7 Bruckell ____ Wheels."
Bugs:
There are many issues with this mod that I do not have the time or skills to fix. None of these affect the mod's functionality, but may be immersion-breaking if noticed.
-The center screen will still briefly display a Cherrier logo if the vehicle is turned off and back on. This seems to be part of the screen's logic prescribed in an html file.
-The wheel lugs do not match up with the wheel hub. This is a result of the rims being resized, but there is no way to fix this without actual 3d modeling which is beyond my abilities right now.
-The Flare Sport GT wheels still contain a Cherrier logo. That logo is a part of the wheel texture, not separate like the badges on the hood and such. I may end up resizing the Bruckell sport wheels from the Bastion to fix this at some point.
