Oh yeah, I forgot China.

But their LatAm presence is not as big as it used to be. Fiat, GM, Ford and others learned how to challenge them.

 

Other way around in LATAM, FIAT was pretty much a market leader in the likes of Brazil and Argentina, currently losing it against VW.

 

This is why I love reading this thread. Every post is one of the following:

• Completely unrealistic or at the very least extremely improbable headcanon
• Complaining about the state of the global vehicle market
  
• "I just copy-and-pasted the entire Wikipedia article for a car company and then replaced all instances of the company's name with a synonym for said name"
• "The products of these two fictional companies in a video game share a texture file, so of course they must be related!"

I can appreciate what you're trying to do, but good work takes effort.

Spoiler: My totally original idea for a new car company!

Name: Typical Engines

“Let’s Go Somewhere”

General Information: Typical Engines Company, commonly referred to as Typical Engines (TE), is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Detroit that designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes vehicles and vehicle parts, and sells financial services. It was founded by William C. Typical on September 17, 1908. The company is the largest American automobile manufacturer, and one of the world's largest. In 1982, it partnered with ETK to make convertible electric crossover SUVs. In 2007, it merged with Hirochi to become THA, or Typical-Hirochi Automobiles.

Vehicles:
Bronzado, a full-size pickup truck
Rural, a full-size SUV based on the Bronzado frame
Santa Monica, a mid-size sedan
Pronghorn, a full-size sedan
Voyage, a compact sedan
Solstice, a mid-size SUV
Strike, a subcompact EV that it only makes to make upper-middle-class Californians happy
Superlight, an Italian-inspired electric supercar with a top speed of 900 miles per hour

 

Websites... Someone could be making "Offical" websites for In-game brands? That would be cool. I think ETK has one.

 

You say this all, and then propose "Typical Engines" and a 900 MPH car.

Do you have any ideas for the names of Swedish mass-market and luxury carmakers?

Because I came up with a name for the mass-market-brand-Jargl-luxury-group: Svenska Fordonsgruppe, or SFG for short.

 

Let me introduce you to a little thing called "satire."

 

I guess it wasn't a good one then.

 

It was good enough to fool you into thinking I was serious, because it was about on par with "Bruckell-Autobello."

 

Well, there is a history of intercontinetal partnerships - FCA, DaimlerChrysler, Diamond Star Motors, Renault-AMC...

 

Oh sure, the historical probability is there—because it's literally a rehash of FCA with Bruckell and Autobello standing in for Chrysler and Fiat.

Hence why my satirical "Typical Engines" is just General Motors, and its biography is copied from the GM Wikipedia page.

 

Lots of official lore is rehashes.

 

There isn't really any official lore apart from names. The one-sentence backstory of Autobello bears no similarities to the origins of Fiat.
Sure, "Bluebuck" and maybe "Roamer" are damn close to "Impala" and "Explorer," but the vehicles themselves and the little information given on them doesn't mirror any one real-life company. And in my opinion, "Bruckell" sounds way more realistic than "Brompton" and "Bolger."

 

240SX-like 200BX? Chevy C/K and the D-Series? Civic and Covet?

Also, what is so unrealistic about my names?

 

Again, it's not just names, it's that everything in this thread is copied verbatim (general information, backstory/historical events, model lineup, etc.). "Gavril Europe" is just Ford of Europe. "CVC" is just GMC. "Brompton" is just Oldsmobile. "Neptune" is just Saturn (now that's just goddamn lazy). I could go on.

The important distinction between what the devs are doing and what you're doing is that they aren't outright copying the entire story behind it. Autobello was founded after World War II, not like Fiat which traces its roots back to the 19th century. Ibishu and Hirochi both share elements between a wide range of Japanese companies, not just Honda and Subaru, for example. Gavril and Bruckell, similarly, combine elements of GM, Ford, and Chrysler, but neither is a direct copy of the real-life brands. "Neptune" is Saturn and you know it. The individual vehicles may bear a closer resemblance, but they're generic enough (especially the SBR4, K-Series, new Pessima, Pigeon, and Grand Marshal) to be distinct.

"Brompton" sounds like a British guy tried to come up with a name that sounded American but had never heard of a single American company. "Bolger" sounds like "Bulge," meaning no company would ever use that name due to its mock-ability and unappealing sound. Both share one thing in common: They're forced. "Gavril" and "Bruckell," while also forced (but to a lesser extent), seem like a natural progression of names like "Ford," "Chevrolet," and "Buick."

 

Give your ideas then. Do you have any?


Brompton is a legitimate name, and the brand merges elements of different midrange US brands, and why would there be no European Gavril?

As for Neptune, it ain't mine.

 

No, I'll wait for the devs to either make the real lore or confirm there won't be any. I don't like writing fan fiction.

What makes a name legitimate? I said it sounds unrealistic. Is "legitimate" to you having it be recognized by the devs or made an official ingame brand? Because if so, then no name in this thread is legitimate.

I didn't say there wouldn't be. I'm saying you literally copied the story of Ford of Europe (merging the German and British divisions).

Seems like it is, as I can't find any mention of it before this post of yours:

Also, if you dislike it, why did you add it to your "hub post?" No one else really directly addressed it.

 

SuperAusten64, I really liked that post you made. It was very funny and I also like the picture =D
Also, just curious. what do you mean by "extremely improbable headcanon"?

 

From Google: "Headcanon is a fan's personal, idiosyncratic (unusual) interpretation of canon, such as habits of a character, the backstory of a character, or the nature of relationships between characters. The term comes from the fact that it is the canon that exists in a fan's head."

In essence, what I meant is that it is made-up lore that is not only inaccurate to the real information the devs have given us, but could never happen in real life.

What seems to be the more prevalent (common) type of headcanon here, however, is the kind that is basically ripoffs of real life brands with barely any changes.

Thank you for the information

By the way, is that John Cena laughing on the picture you posted of the dude laughing?
