WIP 2005 Touox TZ; small hatchback

Chevrolet is an American brand, and it's a straight-up French name.


Also, the Aveo is 100% a Daewoo - in 2002, the "Chevrolet Aveo" was called the Daewoo Kalos. It was designed and engineered 100% by Daewoo. The Aveo sedan you posted didn't even look like that until 2010. What is "American" to you? A crosshair grille? A big nose? The Aveo went nearly 6 years looking like this:




This car is a 2004.

Also.....it's a game. The car getting done is secondary to any name. The name is the least of any worries.

 

It does sound quite English, though.

 

It's literally a French name. Louis Chevrolet was French-Swiss.

Either way, it doesn't matter. I'm focused on getting the car done rather than obsessing over trivial stuff, like a name.

 

Lots of French naming is similar to English.

Touox, however, is not.

 

Uh, what? The whole pronunciation is distinctly French, not English.


Anyways, that's all I'm entertaining about the name. Getting caught up about what a not-done mod will be called is outrageously silly.

 

I agree, its a trivial matter and there is no point falling out or having arguments. Its an amazing mod so far and I cannot wait

 

Scion is American...

 

It was formed by the very Japanese Toyota.

 

Ah.

 

fair enough.
well, i wish you the best of luck my friend!

 

Like the Pontiac Vibe with the Toyota Voltz, a Vibe with Toyota badges on it.
Vibe↓

Voltz↓

They changed literally nothing.

 

both of those are also a Toyota Matrix lol

 

really lol

 

yeah
the Vibe is a rebaged Matrix, and the Voltz is a rebadged Vibe

 

more mesh optimization; also I swapped out the pull-style door handles for some more era/budget appropriate flip up ones. New taillights, too.




I've also been doing more reading on J-beaming, but it's kind of frustrating.

 

ok still finishing up modeling. But I've been playing around with the chassis part. I shortened the chassis by about 5" in the wheelbase, and 10" overall, and got this 3-door city car. This car would be probably around 250-350lbs lighter than the regular 5-door "B-segment" hatchback. I want to release and finish both.


For all of you who maybe have trouble envisioning this:

3-door city car = VW Lupo

5-door B-segment = VW Polo

The meshflow is a bit wonky, but nothing I couldn't fix.

When the 5-door hatch is done, in theory the 3-door shouldn't be super hard, since all of the suspension members etc are identical. It's just shorter. (With a different body and interior)

Good work! It kind of looks like a Scion xA

 

Has this died? There hasn't been a response or update for ages :/

 

Theyll come when they're ready.

 

oh
