    Maybe Russian vehicles? That would be cool! (like a GAZ, or a KAMKAZ, not a actual branded one, just a take on one like how the Ishibu Pigeon is like the Reliant Robin (maybe))

    I was thinking, and I realized the Pigeon could do with some extra variants. Official enclosed "van" and passenger variants a la Reliant Regal/Robin are the obvious starting point, but I've thought of quite a few four-wheeled variants as well.

    -Van would simply be referred to as a "Pigeon" like the pickup.

    -Pigeon Passenger would be the Robin-equivalent three-wheeled basic transportation version.

    -Pigeon Carrier would be four-wheeled commercial variants (i.e. pickups and "vans").

    -Pigeon Flock would be for four-wheeled passenger variants; at least a three-door and possibly a five-door as well.

    -Pigeon Roost would be a "height wagon", based on the Pigeon Flock but with a much taller roof for headroom and cargo space.

    -Pigeon Flight would be a four-wheeled convertible sports car with a reinforced (but not enough) chassis, available only with the 600cc gasoline engine. Flight GTz throws any pretense of following Kei regulations out the window and uses a turbocharger to push horsepower into the triple digits, resulting in a machine that can destroy some Lotus Elises if you can survive its steep learning curve (or just weld in a roll cage to make its handling more predictable).

    -The Flock and Roost could possibly have GTz variants as well. If this is not considered a good idea, they may also have simple GT variants which combine chassis reinforcements and/or a sport suspension package with an NA or detuned turbo engine (especially for the Roost, which even with four wheels might still be a flipping hazard with extra grip and power).

    -A Pigeon Carrier GT or GTz (probably based on a van rather than a pickup) could function as a low-cost club racer's special, but the Pigeon Flight GTz would already be the race car of the lineup, so I'm not sure that would have a purpose.

    -Also consider GTd variants which add a turbo to the 658cc diesel engine.

    Of course, all of this at once would likely add many redundancies, but it will hopefully get the devs and/or a modder thinking. Also, if I ever get a halfway decent computer and can teach myself to model, I will probably put these ideas into action at some point, whether someone else already has or not. However that could end up being at least another year given my current financial state.

    Well, sort of. Not specifically, rather Renault Koleos with elements from other cars, especially Peugeot 5008 II.
    I described the design in the description.

    PAZ B503 (1957-1968, facelifts in 1960 and 1964):

    It is a...

    ...50s Soviet executive sedan. Based on the GAZ M21, but with a 1955 Dodge-style front and a 1955 Chevy 150-style rear. Body-on-frame, front double-wishbone, rear leaf springs, drum brakes. Boaty, but well-absorbing suspension.

    Configs:
    • B503 - Equipped with a 75 HP 2.2 I4, 3-spd manual, open diff, standard suspension (uprated in 2nd facelift), basic brake pads, 15x6 steelies with 6.80-15 bias ply tires and different grille for each facelift.
    • Taxi - As above, but with a Soviet taxi paintjob and roof sign.
    • Militsiya - Like the B503, but with a militsiya paintjob and lightbar.
    • B503S - Like the B503, but with a 150 HP 5.2 V8, 3-spd automatic, sport suspension, sport brakes with premium pads and 15x7 steelies with 215/65 R15 radial tires.
    • B503T - Like the B503, but with 4WD with low/high range, locking diffs, off-road dual live axle suspension and off-road tires.
    • Diesel - Like the B503, but with a 59 HP 2.4 diesel I4.
    • Rally - Like the B503S, but with spotlights, a stripped interior and a Finnish rally paintjob.
    • Beater - Like the B503, but with faded, mismatched paint, a bondoed-up body, worn drivetrain, worn interior and a roof rack

    How about a car that is rear-engine, front-wheel drive... you know to go completely against all that is normal in a car. Maybe even a Wankel diesel engine to mix it up even further.

    For all the stuff devs said about Beam meant to be realistic, there's one guy who didn't get the memo.

    Volga isn't body on frame. Volga and its predecessor Pobeda were unibody, it was a unique trait of these cars which would be a shame to ditch. It's like making a Toyota Supra knockoff FWD only.
    Plus, Volga was nothing executive even in USSR, let alone the West. It was an ordinary run-of-the-mill family car.

    It was unibody, I know, but I just decided to change it for the sake of fictionality.

    Also, an "executive car" is a vehicle slating between a midsize and a luxury car, also described as "E-segment". It does not have much to do with its level of prestige.

    What I suggested is not unrealistic... its just extremely unusual. Diesel wankels have existed, as have rear-engine, front-wheel-drive concepts.

    If you mean executive as a size class, Volga's dimensions were nowhere near it.

    MFG suggestion:
    2000-2007 ETK P2-Series

    It is a...

    rear-engined German 2000s RWD/AWD sports coupe (roadster optional). Based on multiple early 2000s sport cars like the Z4 (E85), the 1st gen SL-Class, and the Crossfire, though the design is a cornucopia of generic designs plus the listed inspiration vehicles. Only sold in Europe, though there's also a British-spec as well for the vehicle. Accordingly, it is a predecessor of the K-Series, but in a production experimental form.

    Configurations:
    Will be worked on later... (I'll leave that up for @MrAnnoyingDude if he wants to.)

    Why do we need this?
    Because we don't have any German 2000s vehicles, nor do we have model conversion predecessors.
