That wouldn't make sense because Japanese car companies didn't sell mid-size liftbacks in America during the 90s, and the Pessima was only sold in America

We don't really know where was Pessima sold (might be in europe, or even japan) so it's free to suggest then

That would make even less sense than a Pessima liftback because the Pessima is MID-SIZE, not COMPACT like the Civic.
Had some more ideas the other day and I want to share them with you. 1) Cherrier Mignon. This is a City Car, classified between the European A (Mini) and B (Supermini) classes in terms of sizing. I imagined it being equipped with the 1.2 I3 gasoline engine, available in both Naturally Aspirated and Turbocharged versions and coupled to the existing I3 6-Speed Manual and 7-Speed DCT gearboxes of the FCVs (plus the existing tuning parts, like the E 110 ECU Stage 1 and the Race/Sport/Tuned Exhausts, to complement the engine). I believe that, with the existing 110hp Turbocharged version of the I3 combined with a weight of about 1 tonne, a modern Pocket Rocket can be created out of this car, which is why I also sketched a 3-door variant, for a tad more body rigidity and a bit less weight. 2) I've talked a few times about rejuvenating the Hirochi brand with cars like a Midsize Sedan/Wagon, a Midsize SUV and a Pick-Up Truck plus the remastered Sunburst (and all of the above with Flat engines, of course, as the Hirochi brand can and must take this direction in order to make its own identity and stand out), but it was only yesterday that I thought of a car which can add an even bigger dose of fun: a modern, small, light (1300kgs or less), cheap (starting from 30000cr. or less) and back-to-basics FR Sportscar, powered by the Naturally Aspirated versions of the 2.0 (175hp) and 2.5 (209hp) F4s that are mounted up front. The F4s, being mounted there, are gonna offer the car a low center of gravity so the front end is (most logically) gonna have a low polar moment of inertia. In other words, we're talking about the perfect car for someone who likes kicking the tail out, for a learner to get to know RWD and enter the world of performance driving or for someone who knows what they're doing to put a 31000cr. Vivace 230S (which is a FWD Mild Hot Hatchback with a Torsion Beam rear axle) see their tail in a race track or on a mountain/touge pass. But with this car, the place of the SBR4 Base variant (with the NA 2.5 F4, with 209hp) is slightly at risk because this car has only got 209hp and is quite expensive - 39500cr. for the 6-Speed Manual and 41000cr. for the 7-Speed DCT. The SBR4 S variants, lying above the Base variant and being equipped with the 300hp Twin-Turbocharged 2.0 F4, have a better value proposition for the Luxury Shooting Brake Sportscar purpose of the car, starting at 55000cr. But then again, the SBR4 Base variant can still stay just as it is because it still has a more luxurious interior than the proposed back-to-basics FR Sportscar, its two luggage compartments offer increased practicality compared to all other competitors (plus the 39500cr. price makes the SBR4 Base a unique offering, as it is the only modern RR car and the only car with two luggage compartments at the below 40000cr. price point) and also because the RR drivetrain has fewer parasitic losses resulting in decent performance: 0-100km/h in 7.1sec for the 6-Speed Manual and (more importantly) 6.0sec for the 7-Speed DCT top speed of 237km/h for the 6-Speed Manual and 234km/h for the 7-Speed DCT. Stats directly compared to the ones of the Vivace 230S, that is. As for the available parts, the car will also have the usual TT S/TT S2 Twin Turbochargers, Stock Turbo Long Block and 7-Speed DCT Transmission parts (along with the Heavy Duty and Ultra Heavy Duty, Stage 1 and 2 Performance Long Blocks and Stage 3 Variable Boost Twin Turbochargers) available for anyone who wants to replace the Stock Intake, the Stock NA Long Block and the 6-Speed Manual but, for a start, this car will be a back-to-basics vehicle by choice, even offering the characteristic naked variant, with black steel wheels, no comfort amenities and no central locking! I've also found the name for it: the Hirochi Zenith! (No sketch for this one because I haven't really thought about its looks but it certainly is a classic 2-door FR Sportscar ) 3) I also thought of a brand exclusively making Rotary-powered vehicles. I think Satsuma could enter the BeamNG lore as the third Japanese car company (after all, we already have seven American companies - Gavril, Burnside, Bruckell, Soliad, Wentward, the Kentarch Fabrications company making custom conversions, and even Randolph, makers of the Dry Van, Flatbed and Tanker Trailers - so there definitely is space for a third Japanese company). Plus, I designed a logo of the company in the 60s/70s era. It consists of a simple circle containing the Satsuma word in a somewhat Hippie font and a discreet triangular symbolism of the engines powering the vehicles of this company!
I think rotaries should be made by a German or French company because the Wankel rotary was invented in Germany and the Citroen GS used a rotary engine.
