    ETK is not Volkswagen, it's a way more luxurious brand, way more similar to BMW. You could come up with a fake brand instead, that would make more sense. But for now it can be ETK if you don't have better ideas.

    I think some sort of pun with hearing could be done, since Audire is latin for "to listen", and Horch, the name of Audi's founder, meant "Listen" in German
    my suggestion is Attendi, which is latin for "heed" (which according to thesaurus.com is a synonym for hear) and sounds kinda similar to audi?
    Idk, the author can do whatever they want

    Yeah, I think Audi would be the perfect real life comparison with ETK due to the fact that the screens in ETK's look extremely familiar with products in the VW Group, although the station wagon might not fit with real life, would probably suggest BMW 3 Series Wagon or Mercedes E-Class Wagon for that matter, but overall I think that would be great.

    Oh look, arguments, tasty
    Anyway while I personally don't think that ETK fits it 100% I am excited for it.

    the argument here is kinda immature lmao
    anyway looks pretty promising, since its a heavily edited automation car i hope it turns out similar to the vertex

    Did you even read the first post?! He clearly said:
    The car is based on a VW Passat from 2001... but... it looks like a A4, a Passat and a modern BMW had a child.

    It should be a passat but came out as that what it is.
    The Passat was the idea of @Jonah_258 by the way

    It seems to be neither a BMW nor any other German car to me. I suppose that it looks more like a pre-restyled Saturn SW2 with some features of a... cough... cough... Saturn L-Series (LW2) (last pic). It might be a coincidence...

    the mod maker literally made a reference to the L-series on accident while the car shares features with it which is hilarious

    This looks great, but I feel like it should be an Ibishu.

    What passat is it anyway? my dream h
    The name does fit it but the car is based on a passat ish which makes it european and as you probably know ibishu is from japan.
    so according to my calculations, no.

    Kinda disagree, seeing as Ibishu already has TWO sedans with wagon mods available, if anything the next Ibishu mod should be a family SUV.

    Actually, why is it not its own brand, like how GM made Saturn as the weird brand. For example, Pabis could be an extension of Gavril as the weird brand. idk tho
