    BETA RELEASE HERE

    Commander is a luxury SUV made by Gavril's luxury division Burnside, which they revived [insert good reason here]. It is essentially a Roamer but with altered, bulkier styling, full-leather interiors, and additional engine options - 6.3 V8 and 6.9 V10. It was also available in a few export markets outside the US, though presumably with little sales success due to size and fuel economy or lack thereof.

    Anyhow, I've been working on this thing since the day I saw the first gen Escalade/Yukon Denali and thought it looks quite interesting. Fair enough the mod evolved, drawing inspiration from various luxury versions of American SUVs such as the Navigator, Escalade, Yukon, etc.

    The current mod phase is nearing completion. I am yet to finish tuning the engines/sounds and creating badges as well as doing configs and all that stuff. Also, I have to note this will not be a separate car so you'll be able to use parts on Roamer.

    Credits (as of current):
    -
    RenAzuma66 (Durham's V10 model/jbeam sorta)
    - Help from some epic people (MfD and other places)

    Roamer has only been in production since the '90s, maybe Gavril has resurrected Burnside?

    To all who spoke about Burnside’s bankruptcy, it’s been speculated for a while that, because that lore is so old and the fact that Burnside dealers are present in West Coast, Burnside is still alive and well.

    Can't help the urge ;)

    I don't see a need to do that since it still uses Roamer body, frame etc. Sorta like Yukon and Tahoe/Suburban but with little more differences

    Stop exposing my plans!

    Yeah, I really don't see why they would retire their only luxury brand, considering competitor Bruckell has one (Soliad)

    And also because it makes no sense for Burnside to go out of business in the 80s, when mid-level brands like Oldsmobile were doing great

    AMC wasn't a mid-level brand owned by a large company like Oldsmobile

    How about a limousine variant, like this?

    Hummer was bought by the Chinese, but GM "revived" it with a Hummer EV based on their Silverado EV

    So a 2000s Burnside rebadge makes some sense

    maybe rebadge your diadem as burnside version of the marshal lol
    tbh rebadging a japanese car as an american luxury car which origially comes from an american car would be weird,but the diadem is already a luxury marshal(with the almighty V12),so doing so would be possible
